Hi all,

I recently purchased a MBP 3 days, and registered to receive the free lion upgrade through apple doing the one where you needed a picture of your receipt. I finished the registration, but still haven't received my code yet. Has everyone else got their code? It's probably been 24 hours by now since I have done this. Thank you for any responses.
 
I registered Wed around 9am. Just got my code this afternoon. Comes in two parts. A locked PDF file and the code to unlock it.

Have you tried re-registering it or contacting the Apple Store where you got it, or Apple's telephone support?
 
I talked with Apple earlier today. They said they are aware of the issue. Like a previous poster stated, go online and apply for the redemption code.

As for me, I purchased Lion on the 20th and I'm in the process of getting a credit since I was entitled to a free copy, but my iMac wasn't showing in the Apple system when I grabbed Lion. Should all be worked out by noon tomorrow.
