Downloading a previously purchased app with Ubuntu Software Center

Question

Fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 but I want to claim a purchase of Minecraft that I bought with the old install using Ubuntu Software Center. Don't see an intuitive way of downloading your purchased items. I have the email payment confirmation. Any advice?

With the Ubuntu Software Center open go to File > Reinstall Previous Purchases

enter image description here

Login with the account you used to purchase the software

enter image description here

After you have done that a list of available purchased software will be displayed. Select the software you previously bought and press install

Using the Ubuntu Software Center simply go to File --> Reinstall Previous Purchases to reinstall software you've already purchased.
