What machine are you using? Mountain Lion dropped support for many older machines. Your Mac Pro must be early 2008 or newer to qualify for the upgrade.

The window that pops up will tell you everything.
The 2.66 GHz Mac Pro, or Mac Pro 1,1 is the original Mac Pro, sold between August 2006 and January 2008. While it is compatible with Lion it is not with Mountain Lion.
