I recently purchased a iMac, and downloaded Mountain Lion under the knowledge that I would have five downloads. I was happy about this because I also have a Macbook Pro that I wanted to download it on. Problem is, I don't know how to get this offer without re-paying for it. It should be free, at least according to the Genius Bar associate.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Once you've downloaded it's authenticated under your Apple ID. Just log into the App Store on the other machine(s) and download again.
Depending on what Apple did for you, you may have received an email with a PDF containing a code you can "Redeem" in the App Store. But as I said before, once you do that it's authenticated under the Apple ID. Think of it as an iPhone (or any other) app; once you've bought it, you've bought it.

Follow Bobs link. You can download it as many times as you need for as many Macs that you own.

Found out that it was hidden. Apparently there is a "hidden purchases" tab that I had to find and take it out of there and then download it.
Glad you figured it out, good luck.
told i was to have multiple downloads for multiple platforms
