Mac App Store: Buy An App, Run It On Any Mac

January 7, 2011
If you've bought a couple of apps in Apple's recently launched Mac App Store, you might be interested to hear that you can run them on as many Macs as you like. Just like iOS devices, you can re-download an application onto as many Macs as you like (via the Mac App Store), so long as you're using the same Apple ID. Unlike the iTunes Store, there is no five device limit. This is great news, and arguably one of the best features of the Mac App Store. If you have more than one Mac in the house, or have a few Mac-savvy friends, you'll undoubtedly appreciate this. In order to re-download applications you've already purchased in the Mac App Store, simply sign in to the Store using your Apple ID, and head over to the "Purchases" section. Here you'll see all the applications you've downloaded with your Apple ID, free or paid. If they're not installed on the Mac you're using, you can install them for free from this page. Let us know your thoughts on the Mac App Store in the comments.
