Wheres My Applecare?

[TheSVD]

I recieved a Macbook Pro for xmas and also bought applecare ( at the same time.)
I bought it through the college with higher education discount.

I just went to register my applecare when it said i need the activation number. This was nowhere to be found in my applecare "box" - i didnt get a box, i got a padded brown envolope with my applecare users guide and that techtools deluxe CD or whatever it is. I got another sheet of paper entitled "packing list" which does have a number near a barcode as the apple site describes but i dont think thats it! Havent tried it though cause havent taken out the battery yet to get my serial number.

Was i suppose to get my applecare in a box? Is my number somewhere else?
Please help, this is my first apple product and i want to register my frickin applecare

Did you buy it from the BTO page or separately in the same cart? If it was the former, you're already registered.

Before you get too you should contact Apple.

same cart, so im already registered?


EDIT: i did try and check my agreements on the apple site but it didnt work.
Is it registered to the bloke's apple ID who ordered my laptop at the college?

If I remember correctly it gets registered to the purchaser.

you can check your remaining Applecare here:https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do

If the time remaining is incorrect, call Apple.

ALSO,
i did buy it with the igher ed discount, does that mean its some kinda different contract?

In the UK when you buy AppleCare on a HE purchase, it is automatically added to the machine and you don't have to do anything.

Further, though this is a one-off, my Mac Pro according to Apple's support site only has the standard warranty. A quick call to AppleCare confirmed that it actually has the full 3 years I paid for, and that the site has it wrong.

Contact Apple and have them sort it out for you.

Look at the box; if it says "Auto Enroll" it means you were enrolled when you bought the machine.

I bought the AppleCare at the same time:
1) They registered me though I don't see it on the website when I login
2) The AppleCare agreement # is on your receipt.

A quick call with your MB serial number should clear it all up.

Or just put your serial number in this form:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do

And it will tell you when your warranty expires; if it's in 3 years from when you bought it, then your AppleCare is already registered and you're covered.
