If you recently purchased the MacBook Pro 15" Retina display, or another of Apple's latest offers, you probably qualify for the Up to Date Program.

It takes just a few minutes to complete the registration. Once you've been approved (usually within 24 hours), you'll receive a code that you can use in the Mac App Store to download Mountain Lion. Keep in mind that your order must be entered by August 24, 2012.

Hi Derrick,

I filled out the Up-to-Date form yesterday morning and as of this afternoon I have not heard anything back from Apple. Been reading over the Internet that it may take up to 72 hours to receive the code.

In the mean time I have been able to up date Aperture to 3.3.2, iMovie, iWork and so on. So at least I am ready when every I receive the code information for Mountain Lion.

By the way I am really enjoying this new MacBook Pro Retina Display.

Best,

Stu

Yes, Stu, it is looking more like 72 hours :(

Took just shy of 72 hrs to get my Mom's ML Upgrade code. What worried me was the update terms and conditions say you need to send an email with a copy of the sales receipt but I never got any address to send it to. But eventually the upgrade code arrived without sending anything to Apple.
