Off-line, I received an email saying the App Store account isn't required so I can't be sure this would be required. As for treating Lion upgrades like regular software, I wouldn't put it past Apple to do something like this. They aren't charging that much more for a family pack of Snow Leopard right now ($49 compared to $29 single user). I still don't know if Apple will be charing for a server "redemption" code when Lion is finally released. If they don't then allowing your 5 family computers to all install Lion isn't really going to hurt their bottom line and might actually get more people to buy the upgrades instead of sharing them. ;-)
