In a different computer from where you have purchased the software, in the Software Center go to the "File / Reinstall previous shoppings" menu. 2. Try to install already paid software that isn't installed yet. WAY 2: 1. Buy an app from a computer. 2. Try to install the app from a different one. ******************** EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR ******************** - The application to be installable. **************** REAL BEHAVIOUR **************** - The application's package cannot be found. ************* WORK-AROUND ************* - To delete the Software Center key (for example by using the "passwords and keys" application), and not using the "reinstall previous shoppings" feature in the Software Center. ****************** RELEVANT DETAILS ****************** - The Software Center only add commercial ppas in the first sing-on but never latter, leaving new ppas not being added.
