Q: Purchased ARD through the Mac OS App Store, no update to 3.5.3

I bought ARD through the Mac OS App Store.  It still lists version 3.5.1 as the most current version (see: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-remote-desktop/id409907375?mt=12).  I saw that 3.5.2 and 3.5.3 were released, but the App store has not been updated. Manually downloading/installing the updaters isn't updating .. it succeeds but the version displayed while running shows 3.5.1.  Is there a workaround?  Or, Apple can you please update the App Store?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

A:

There is a client version of ARD 3.5.3, but, strangely enough, the admin version is still  stuck at 3.5.1.  When you purchase, you get the Admin version since the client is a free part of the OS.
