Was not my intention. I wish Apple would handle this differently, I really do. E.g. I wish we could hand out codes to existing customers, maybe even for a small handling fee, say a dollar or two.

And tthanks for your support, much appreciated. :)

I guess it will be a passing problem anyway, as you now only sell through the app store.
I just wanted to give it a five star rating and a rave review …

Cheers, Niklas

And how do you purchase the App Store version, if it says “installed”?

Because there are of course benefits in the App Store version – the way it updates, the license (as many systems as you own), the portability (buy new system, have one place to dl your apps)…

E.g., I’m inclined to update some of my apps to the App Store version, especially if they should do some sort of SALE OMGZ!!!, but as it stands I don’t even know how to buy these apps, because the button is inactive. Can’t even check their price.

As for user confusion: As it stands, most users seem to think that “installed” means “will update through the App Store”, which, sadly, won’t be the case.

The Apple applications I have show up as “installed” in AppStore even though they were purchased long before the app store.
And as far as I can see, this is the right thing (an equivalent version is installed), even if it may not be according to the rules.
So why is it important to follow the rules in this case, I mean who has anything to gain by it? IMO, you only create a bit of confusion (people may think that there is a newer version released and that they need to upgrade), but at no gain.

We’re one of the few who did it right. As long as you have not bought it from the App Store, it should display a price. “Installed” should only show for App Store purchases.
