I'm on Lion at the moment and want to reinstall Mountain Lion (I had Mountain Lion already and bought it a year ago, I've done a fresh install now however, which installed Lion).

When I click "Purchases" I don't see Mountain Lion anywhere. When I search for it however, it does appear and it says I can download it (where the price is usually written), hinting I don't have to buy it again.

But just wondering, why doesn't it appear under "purchases"?

Many thanks.

This is most likely because it's hidden. To unhide a purchase, go to your account, log in, and click Unhide Purchases. Click the button for the thing to unhide. Simple as that.
