AppleCare question

[JamesOK]

I bought a retina mbPro in July with AppleCare. I need to buy another one. Will the second be covered under my initial AppleCare purchase?

nope - apple care is connected with one serial number.

Is this a replacement for the July purchase or an additional machine?

You can transfer your existing AppleCare to a new computer I think. If not then you should be able to get a refund for the remainder time of the warranty and apply that toward a new AppleCare warranty.

Additional machine

You have to buy AppleCare coverage separately for each computer. The coverage follows the computer, not the owner.

If this is a replacement computer because of a warranty issue, I would guess you could receive either a pro-rated refund or Applecare would transfer over. Apple would take care of this.

If this is an additional computer, you would have to buy a second Applecare policy...just like you'd need to buy a second insurance policy if you bought a second car.

Enjoy your computers.
