upgrade auf 3.5
Hi, I am a user of Aperture Version 3.4.5 installed from CD years ago. At this time, Aperture 3.5 is available in the store. I can not find a way to upgrade my version. Any Ideas?
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

If you are running Mavericks, you should be able to update your Aperture 3.4.5 version from the App Store Updates page:
The upgrade from Aperture 3.4.5 to 3.5 will turn your retail licence into an AppStore licence bound to your AppleID.
Is your Aperture application installed in the Applications folder? Only then will the AppStore be able to recognize it as installed. If you have moved it, put it back and make sure, it is named simply Aperture and nothing else.
Does your Mac meet the technical specifications for Aperture 3.5? http://www.apple.com/uk/aperture/specs/
Also, this update really needs to be done using the App Store, because the App Store will convert the licence to an App Store licence. There is no download link on the Support page.
Are you in the United States or in another country? For some forum members in Europe it helped, to pretend to be in the states, by setting the primary system language to English U.S. and the region to U.S., then restart the system and sign into the App Store again with the Apple ID they want to use for the Aperture licence. Then Aperture appeared on the Updates page, after reloading the page with ⌘R.
But before updating all macs to Aperture 3.5 for compatibility with Mavericks and iCloud, check the compatibility with your plug-ins. For example, the Nik-collections seems to have problems with Aperture 3.5.
