Hi Simon, and thanks for your report. It's true that it is a difficult
process to regain access to your purchased items after changing your
lauchpad login name. As this would be a new feature I'll mark this as a
wishlist item so that we keep it on our radar as we plan new features in
Software Center.
Best regards,
Gary

Title:
Change of login details causes Ubuntu software centre 401 due to
incorrect credentials
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I originally created my account as [email protected]
(example) and then went through the laborious process of changing this
back to [email protected].
Since I could not log off and log back on to Ubuntu Software centre I
could not download the packages as they had my old login username. I
could also not change it.
A 'sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install software-center' failed
as the setting was not specific to USC.
I ended up following advice from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1008289
and modified my login name in /etc/apt/auth.conf.
There need to be a process to login/log off or change username/password.
Manual editing will not hack it for your average end user.
Regards
Simon
