Does anyone know if this binds a copy of Mountain Lion to your account, or is it only good for a one time download?

Scenario:
I have a 2012 MBA that qualifies. I also have an older MBP. When I redeem on my MBA will I later be able to download and install it on my MBP? Does it bind the copy to your user account, or is it a special one-time download?

Did anyone run into this last time around with the Lion Up-to-Date program?

You receive a code which then binds the purchase to your ID.
 
When I fill out the form, there is every option except the MacBook Air. There is even the MacBook! Here is what my form looks like...

Can anyone help? I chatted with a specialist online and she told me to call customer service and have them "register my device"

just choose "MacBook" thats what i done and i got the code
 
When you guys say you got a code

Do you mean the claim reference number, or the actual redeem code?

I just marked Macbook for my new Macbook Air and I've already received my confirmation and code. You should be fine, too.
 
What does this mean? What am I scanning/taking a picture of?

I got the same thing. When I search my Serial on the Warranty and Service it pulls it all right up. I am glad I keep receipts. I just have to wait until I get home to take a picture of it.

How much longer did it take to receive the code after doing the claim

I uploaded a scan of my packing list. If that doesn't work, I don't know what will.
 
IMO I wouldn't take that to mean anything. Many developers don't update their apps until the OS gets released publicly - no rush to do it before hand is my guess. I don't take much stock in Roaring Apps - there are a ton of apps that haven't been tested yet and that was the case in Lion.

I wouldn't call Roaring Apps the "source", however, for Lion a lot of apps were updated on there prior to the release. So I was surprised that devs and those running seeds had not tested and confirmed compatability of more apps.
 
Darn... wasted 10 minutes filling out info only seeing that it asks for a ZIP Code and appends United States to your info. Us Canadians only have Postal Codes :(
 
pending

i did the claim about 5 minutes ago...and didn't receive the confirmation email yet
 
i just clicked on the link "already live" which is highlighted on the main news page, guess i was just lucky, just clicked on it again and it keeps saying error

I have GM developers copy so I am not in rush, just wondered how you got past the address and phone verification
 
How did you manage to get a code in the Uk

Same here. Don't try entering a phone number though as it only accepts US-style numbers.

So do we in the UK and it works for us - what's the format of CDN postcodes? Ours are AB1 2CD
