Hi Dónal, I notice that some reviewers comment that the download link at the mupromo site might not be the latest to use. If you purchase the app, the developer is telling people to use this link for the full product after you purchase: http://www.abbyydownloads.com/FRMACLion/ABBYY_FineReader_Express.dmg
This way you don't have to visit the ABBYY web site or download an update that supports Gatekeeper in Mountain Lion, and you just need to enter the serial number. Also, I think the license terms are the same whether you purchase from the Mac App Store or through the Mac Update Promo at 50% discount -- as a private individual you can install this on two computers (e.g. a home computer and a work computer), but you can only run one version at a time. Once more, the promotion web site is: http://www.mupromo.com/deal/13388/abbyy-finereader-express This is good for about 4 and a half more hours. You do need to create a MacUpdate account, which involves a one-time negotiation of a CAPTCHA to create the account. Haven't been paying attention to the promotions, since I've been monitoring the news at a distance for the Frankenstorm that is currently hitting the East coast of the U.S., Hurricane Sandy. HTH.
