So I was fortunate enough to get Lion in the developing stages. Now I want to buy the "golden" copy off the mac store but it is saying I already have it installed. How can I go about getting it because it won't let me do anything in the store. The only solution I have is installing SL on a partition, then buying it there. Then deleting the main one, then installing it from the 2nd partition. Any other ideas?
 
If you are running the golden master of Lion, it's 100% identical to the one in the App Store. When the first Lion patch is released, you'll be able to update to it just like everyone else.
 
I do not believe I am running the "golden" version. I am running the 4th developer version. Are they one in the same? How do I check if I have the "golden" version?

11A511 IS the version you download from the App Store.

As you're a developer you've already paid US$99 for the early through to GM versions of Lion. There's no need to spend another US$29 on something you've already paid for.

I am not a developer though :/ My friend is and he gave it to me

I just checked, and I am on Build 11A494a
 
Oh, pretty sure Apple says you CAN'T upgrade to the final build from the pre-releases. You have to do a full re-install. But you're running on a partition though right? It's not your main system right? Riiiiight?
