Geek Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/install-lion-final-over-gm.jpg" alt="Install OS X Lion Final over Lion GM in the App Store" title="install-lion-final-over-gm" width="620" height="298" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19044" /></p> <p>First a quick note: if you’re a developer who is running the Lion GM build 11A511 there is technically no need to install the Lion Final, both builds are 11A511 and identical. That said…</p> <p>If you are running the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/mac-os-x-10-7/">Mac OS X Lion</a> GM build and you want to buy and install the Final release of Lion through the Mac App Store, you’ve probably noticed that you’ll get an error message in the App Store. The solution? Simple, you just need to <strong>hold Option and click on the Install button</strong> to be able to install the final release over GM. You can also do this through the “Purchases” tab in the Mac App Store, just hold down Option to enable the “Install” button.</p> <p>This is also a way for those who inappropriately downloaded Lion GM to ‘come clean’ and pay Apple for the final release. It’s only $29.99, and if you haven’t bought it yet, <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/20/mac-os-x-lion-download-app-store/">you really should</a>.</p> <p>Again, there isn’t much reason for developers to do this, but it’s a good tip anyway from <a href="http://www.loopinsight.com/2011/07/20/heres-what-to-do-if-you-have-lion-gm-installed-and-want-to-download-it-from-the-mac-app-store/">The Loop</a>. </p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zIn5QDFTanb8YasVzOjWmQpRJ0w/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zIn5QDFTanb8YasVzOjWmQpRJ0w/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zIn5QDFTanb8YasVzOjWmQpRJ0w/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zIn5QDFTanb8YasVzOjWmQpRJ0w/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZHutDBiR80A:b-Bx85K4-RA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZHutDBiR80A:b-Bx85K4-RA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=ZHutDBiR80A:b-Bx85K4-RA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZHutDBiR80A:b-Bx85K4-RA:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=ZHutDBiR80A:b-Bx85K4-RA:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZHutDBiR80A:b-Bx85K4-RA:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ZHutDBiR80A:b-Bx85K4-RA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/ZHutDBiR80A" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
