Well, if you did the download and install, it asked for your Apple ID and password before approving the purchase. then, if you went through and completed the install, it wouldn't ask you again. However, if you ever want to install from the bootable partition, then, it will ask again.
I think I have found a way to do it though. I can boot from my external drive, this will be a full VO with a full OS booted, I think, then, it should work. So, there is a work around, but, I am still curious about doing it from the bootable partition that is designed for that purpose.
