This simply does not work. I am trying to install Lion on another computer.

I already have it on my desktop computer and it does show up in my Purchases list.

However, when I go to my laptop and login to the App Store, it does NOT show up in my purchases list. Even holding down the option key while clicking on Purchases does not make it appear in the list.

How can I download Lion, NOT Mountain Lion, to another computer?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

All I can suggest, if you're logging in using the same AppleID as on the desktop, is do DL it from the desktop machine, quit the app when it finishes DLing, and then copy it to the laptop. Alternatively, http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account and let them sort it out. They're responsible for making this abysmal delivery system work.
