With the new requirement to install Xcode from mac AppStore, i would like to locate the install package (.dmg) and archive it somewhere.

Use case 1 : got 100+ workstations, dont want(need) to download 100+ times.

Use case 2 : I archive, ship, and later End-of-life a product built with Xcode 4.1.1. A premium customer requires an urgent bug fix, I would like to temporarily install a few workstations with THAT Xcode.

tia.

btw, same goes for Lion, or whatever future feline Apple may release.

in case you download Xcode from AppStore, Pablo is right.

However, in case you want the "good old" download of the .dmg file from Apple's website, you have to login at the Apple Developer Download website (previously called: ADC Program Assets). You will find various versions of Xcode under "Developer Tools".
