Student ADC and Leopard

The fruit just told me that info about student ADC accounts getting Leopard server was a mistake. Oh well.
 
My copy of Leopard finally arrived in Australia. No server edition. I was really excited about trying out the server edition. :(
 
I love apple

I just got my student ADC leopard DVD :D
My membership expired on the day they said they would ship them (Oct 30?), I have done really well out of the student ADC membership -saved a packet on a MBP, and got a free copy of leopard a year after my purchase.:D

Mine just came today but alas, I'm not home to open it :/
 
ADC student membership question

Do student ADC members receive a OS disk on every update like Like 10.5.1,10.5.2 or only on major updates/releases like Panther,Leopard? I got my Leopard Today, don't know if I'll install it yet. I got a shirt, but Its a XL which kinda sucks, but it was basically free based on the Hardware discount I'll get when I buy a new mac!

Just on the .0 releases like Tiger, Leopard, etc...
 
Assets?

Signed up for Student ADC on 27 OCT, but my "Assets" page only shows:

ADC Student Membership (Pending)

Am I missing something here? No other emails from Apple or directly from ADC regarding my purchase. Is there something I need to do to address the (Pending) notation?

When I view my store account, it just shows my order details (date/time) and the invoiced cost.

No mailings yet, and obviously no Leopard yet. :-(

Did you send some kind of verification of student status?

Nope... I thought they would instruct me to do just that and where to mail/fax or whatever, but haven't gotten a request for anything. I've ordered hardware from the online education store as recently as 2 months ago without a hitch.

I received 3 immediate emails:

1. The Student ADC "Order Acknowledgment" with web order number -- which also contained my school and student number information.

2. A "Thank You from the ADC" with my 16 digit activation code -- which I then activated on the ADC site.

3. An "Invoice Receipt" -- with invoice number, web order number, customer p.o.number, sales order number.

Since then I have received ADC News #487 and #487 emails.

"After you purchase an ADC Student Membership and receive an Activation Code via email, you must verify your student status before ADC will activate your product."

Here is the link...

I think I e-mailed them, as it was better for me.

I see... the problem was lack of initiative on my part. :p

Okay, now that I completed the next step I'll check back over the next several days to see if my status has changed from "Pending" to anything else. Perhaps I'll get the December mailing -- Must. Have. Leopard.

Thanks for your help!
 
Oops...my bad: I ordered first then registered with ADC...what now?

I registered online with ADC about a month ago, or so I thought.

Today I placed an order for a MBP through ADC, but after reading this thread, I realized I needed to actually purchase my student membership.

I purchased my ADC student membership and got an immediate response from Apple, but have not received a response from Apple for my MBP order.

So do I wait for a verification number from ADC and re-order the MBP?

:eek: When in doubt, read the directions....!:eek:

You should call Apple up...I don't think your order will go through, since you weren't a member when you purchased. Call them up, you'll probably have to place your order again once you get verified.
 
I read all the messages of the thread and I didn't see where anyone said how long it took to get the first verification e-mail from Apple.

I signed up for the ADC Student membership on Wednesday night (it is now Sunday morning) and haven't received any e-mail other than my order number. I went ahead and faxed my student info on Friday night to get the ball rolling.
