Registering Apple Care??

[Mark.W]

I got Apple Care at the same time as I bought my 2010 Macbook Pro (at an Apple Store). First of all, I did not get an Apple Care box - just a receipt with the agreement number and other Apple Care particulars. Is this normal?

Second, I read somewhere that you need to register Apple Care?? The Apple Store sales rep did not say anything about registration. So do I still need to register - or is it only for people who buy Apple Care separately from the hardware? And if I do have to register, how do I go about it?

Your perfectly fine, when you buy AC with your Mac, it's all taken care of for you, and your registered right then, and the AC is tied to the Mac you bought it with.

You can check your AC status @ https://selfsolve.apple.com/Agreements.do

Thanks! That's good to know.
