What version of OS X did your computer originally ship with?
Did you upgrade to Mountain Lion?
Ignore the above post until you answer these questions.
You have to Reinstall the Original version of OS X that Came on your system. you can not give or seel it to anyone with any newer downloaded version of OS X installed.
What year was your Mac made? What version of OS X was originally on your Mac when you bought it?
Orginal OS is Lion
Yes i am upgrade to Mountain Lion, Thank you.
MacBook Pro E 2011
Mac OS X LION
Thank you
If your computer shipped with Lion the first thing you need to do is deauthorize your computer for all that you've purchased with iTunes. Then, following Kappy's advice:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Are you going to sell this computer? If so, you can only sell it with Lion on it...not Mountain Lion.
Please confirm your intentions.
Clinton, that will NOT reinstall Lion.
DO NOT follow Clinton's post until you answer the question about what you're trying to do.
The OP pretty much explains what he/she is trying to do.

Please confirm your intentions.

"you need to do is deauthorize your computer for all that you've purchased with iTunes. Then, following Kappy's advice"
How can do that?
Just open iTunes and under the "Store" menu select "Deauthorize This Computer".

Thank you very much Clinton.
Important: 1) Make sure that all your partitions are erased before reinstalling; otherwise it doesn't work or will reinstall OS X Mountain Lion instead.
