Hi Jim, That is one thing that slipped my mind.
When you upgrade or cleanly install Mac OS X 10.7, Lion, the installer wipes the disk image off of your Mac. In this case, if you wish to use it multiple times, either burn it to a disk or copy the file to external media before performing the installation or, if you are currently running Mac OS X 10.7, Lion, go to the App Store from either the dock or your Applications folder. Next, hit Command-4 to select "Purchased," then move to the "Purchases" table when the page has loaded and located OS X Lion. When located, VO-Right to the cell which contains the "Installed" button. Clicking on it prompts you to enter your password, and the download proceeds all over again.
