Xcode cannot install mobile device framework

I'm very much a newb to Xcode. I installed and updated in awhile ago and now am trying to resume learning iOS development. When I try to start XCode, it tells me it needs to install Mobile Device Framework and fails. The logs say this

Xcode.app is not entitled for system.install.app-store-software

I did a little research on this, and it seems the only answer is related to a certificate expiring last year for Mac Servers, which I'm not on. I have a MBP from about 2-3 years ago.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
