can't buy 1Password in MAS under MacOS X 10.6.8

in 1Password 3 for Mac
Today I tried to buy the new 1Password from the MAS just to make sure I will get it for the reduced price. I won't update my iMac before next year to 10.7.

But the purchase failed with an error message, saying that I can only buy it when I have 10.7 installed.



That's crazy. Why can I not just buy it and not installing it? I feel trapped.

    If you know someone else running 10.7, perhaps you can log into the MAS using their Mac and make the purchase at the reduced price.

    That's the beauty of the MAS. I have no words for this flawed system...

    That's Apple looking after non-technical users too well, and making things difficult for experienced users.



    They will let you buy and install a program, but not buy and keep for later installation. And since 1PW 3.9 is Lion only, they don't want Snow Leopard users buying and complaining that it doesn't work.



    I have an experimental Lion partition on an external drive, so I just booted into that to buy 1PW 3.9

    This seems like a reasonable solution.
