Re-install on MBP after Pre-Install on iMac 27"

I purchased an imac (mid 2011) 27" with aperture pre-installed. I now want to install on my MBP as well and can't find install disks. Trial no longer available for download. How do I do this?

It would be wonderful if Apple could somehow link that pre-install purchase to my App Store account so I could download from there. Perhaps in the future when ordering custom hardware with pre-installed software they could ask for your App Store ID so that it would show up there in the future. Maybe they are doing that now, haven't bought hardware online since last year...

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Try, if this download link still works:

http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg

Have you looked, if the preinstalled Aperture is waiting in the "Purchased" tab of the App Store to be accepted? At least one poster reported, that he found Aperture ready for download after accepting it.

Thank you for the link! It worked and Aperture is updating as I type this.

I did check the "Purchased" tab of the App Store prior to posting and it wasn't there.

Cheers,

Troy
