Aperture losing Serial Number

I bought my upgrade to Aperture 3 by downloading the trial, and then purchasing the upgrade through the trial program. This worked great up until 10.8. Apple pulled the trial software download, and I had to do a manual install. Which works, but every so often on boot, it asks for the serail number. I can't do a fresh install since I never received any physical media, and I don't think I should pony up $80 to re-buy it fromthe App Store. Any Ideas on how to fix this problem?

There is a link to the Trial version in this support article:

Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4412?viewlocale=en_US

You can download the Trial Installer from there; make a backup copy and keep it safe, once you have it! This article also describes, how to reinstall. Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.

You may have an invalid ProApp System ID file, see my answer here, on how to fix that:
