You download it from the App Store with the same Apple ID used to purchase it. There is no license number, other Han your Apple ID.

Thanks for the reply Tom,

I double checked and my original copy was purchased under my old Apple ID which I no longer have the password for. (divorce issue) So do you think Apple will be able to make the change or am I just SOL?

You could try to contact App Store support, but I’m not sure what they could do if your ex-wife has the Apple ID.

You could also try using iforgot.apple.com and see if you can reset the password.
