Acquistata app ma non ricevuto licenza di attivazione

Salve, ho acquisto un'app e dopo il periodo di prova l'ho acquistata. Fatto il pagamento ho atteso di ricevere la chiave di licenza, ma invano.

Se avete qualche suggerimento, vi ringrazio

I've made a mine sweeper on mac that give money back to remove real landmines - not many players after 6 months live, need advice on what to do next?
