After Installing ML on the second Mac

After downloading and installing OS X Mountain Lion on a second macbook pro at home which belongs to my brother and earlier he had been using another apple ID for it. After he installed the OS X ML, I'm unable to find the ML in my purchases at the app store, just wondering in case that I might need to re download the ML in future, do I have to make another payment aa app store does not have the ML in my purchase list any more.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Mountain Lion

Try selecting Purchases while holding the Option key - does that show it?

Did you make the original purchase on your Mac not your brother's?

I thought it would be alright as this is clearly mentioned in the OS X ML support site http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4854

Strictly it mean Macs belonging to you, not to other people.

I wouldn't get too excited at the moment.

You could contact Store support via:

http://expresslane.apple.com

and see what they can do. They may just reassure and say to get in touch in future if you have issues.

Also if you do manage to redownload, quit the installer and make a cbackup copy of the installer on a DVD or external drive.
