I reloaded 8 on my wife's computer with windows 8 this day, as we had been having some sharing difficulties that I was attempting to alleviate. Previously, we had gone ahead and purchased a copy of the game 'cut the rope' for 5 bucks. Now, after re-load, it is prompting me to re-purchase the game that I already purchased. I am a bit beside myself. Surely, they would know that I already own this game right?

Ok.. apparently, what happened was.. I installed it first from a different account, but then logging in with the good account, did not make the difference. I had to uninstall it, then follow your method. Thanks..

Actually.. even though it shows I purchased it on 11/5, it still is asking me to repurchase it even after loading it the way you described. Is there a number I can call for support or something. I do not want to give them 5 bucks 2x. Thks.
