Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:

1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.

2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.

3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.

4. Buy them.
