Bug Description

To post a comment you must log in.
The software you are referencing is commercial and exists in the "multiverse". When you "buy" $0 software that is commerical, you are also subscribing to a private repository that is outside of the control of Canonical and you have to go through a verification process to do so.
This has been discussed before and the overall response has been "too bad". https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ software- center/ +bug/968974
