iMovie costs money now? I bought my computer in 2014 last fall and this summer I brought it in to get a factory reset (to take out everything I had done). When I brought it home I realized that iMovie was deleted and I searched it up to see that it would now cost money... I wanted to know if there was any way to recover iMovie or get it for free.
I had a similar experience.

iMovie came with my MacBook Pro when I bought it in 2011, but I could not update it in 2014.

I contacted Apple Support, who checked the MacBook ID and restored the purchase.
