Hi all,

I recently got the new Macbook Pro from the US (I live in the UK) and got a $100 app store gift card which I have redeemed but not spent. I was about to download the new Mountain Lion but then got a bit worried it may not (for some reason) work. I'm sure its probably stupid to think about but just wanted confirmation from people who know more than me 😱

Would there be a problem if I downloaded it from the US app store? I did obviously create a fake US account to redeem the code
 
Why would you BUY something you can get for FREE?

No, there will be no issue.

😀 Don't get me wrong. I'll use the voucher was just worried if there was some small chance there will be a issue o something if I download it from the US store (as thats where the gift card is registered to only)
 
You may have to use the US apple site up to date program page rather than the UK version but other than that you should have no issues
