You can try the following, which may or may not work. Open System Preferences / Spotlight. Go to the Privacy tab. Drag the icon of your hard drive into the box. Confirm when it nags you about that. Leave it in there 30 seconds or so, then take it out. That will cause a complete Spotlight re-index of your drive, which is known to cure certain types of App Store colic.
The reason it may not work is that the iWork suite seems to have a serial-number-ish validation protocol attached to it in addition to the usual App Store tracking, and this procedure may be insufficient to address that.
