You must have purchased a new Mac on or after June 6th. You then have 30 days from the release of Lion in which to make your claim. See
Lion Up-To-Date upgrade
"The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request."

  • If I buy Lion Server for my iMac can I download Lion for free on my MacAir?

    If I buy Lion Server for my iMac can I download Lion for free on my MacAir?

    Well, it hasn't worked that way for me.
    I bought Lion for $29 from the App Store this morning, and DLed/installed it on my MacBook Pro with no problem.  This afternoon I went to upgrade my Snow Leopard Server Mac Mini.  Went to the App Store, clicked the Lion Server at $49.99, and was prompted that "because this is an OS X server, you must purchase a OS X Lion as well as OS X Lion Server, for $79.98"  [Cancel]  [Purchase Both]
    If I try to install just Lion from my "Purchased" list in App Store, I get exactly the same message.  If I try to install Lion from an install DVD, I get a "checking with App Store" and then the same message.
    Spent over an hour on the phone with Enterprise Sales, who agreed that's not what was supposed to happen, but had no resolution.  It isn't critical to me timewise so they are mulling the situation over.
    My recommendation if you have SLS and clients to upgrade is to do the Lion/Lion Server purchase *first* for the server.  Hopefully then the Lion license will be available for your other machines.  I can't guarantee it, but I can guarantee that the other way *doesn't* work.

  • How do I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion for free?

    How do I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion for free? I just bought a new Mac Book Pro 5 days ago with OS X Lion. The Apple store said I could download the new OS for free by entering the receipt # and total amount of the purchase.  I don't know where to start or where to enter this information.  Please help.

    Hi,
    Just go to http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ if in the US otherwise go to main Apple homepage, click on the 'Mountain Lion is here' icon then scroll to the bottom where it says 'Get a free upgrade with your new Mac'. All the info should be there. I did this myself yesterday and am now awaiting my coupon code to get it for free.

  • Hey, I wanna download Lion for free, so i need UP-TO-DATE , but it do not works , please help

    Hey, I wanna download Lion for free, so i need UP-TO-DATE , but it do not works , please help

    I think you misunderstood the guy. The up-to-date program isn't working for a lot of people. I'm eligible for the free upgrade but it fails to recognise my serial. From what I've read, this is affecting a lot of people who purchased their computers online. Apple seems to be fixing the issue though, so my advice would be to keep trying. Alternatively, click on the manual verificaton link so they can check your order for you and send the redemption code after they do.

  • Just bought a Mac Pro and they told me I would be able to download Lion for free.  HOw can I do that?

    I was told that a letter would be sent to me from Apple letting me know as soon as Lion was available for free download.  Haven't received my letter and can not download Lion without having to pay for it.  Any suggestions as to what's going on and when I might expect my letter?

    Upgrading to OS X 10.7 FAQ
    First, you need to make sure you're running the latest version of SnowLeopard 10.6.8
    Click the "Apple" symbol in the top left corner of your screen and select "About This Mac."
    Make sure you're running version 10.6.8.
    If not, click "Software Update" from the same Apple menu and update your system.
    Then when that's finished launch the MacAppStore from the same menu.
    You'll see the giant Lion banner across the top. Click on it.
    This brings you to the app page for Lion. It costs $29.99 -- click the price, then click "Buy App."

    Check Apple's license details throughly before using orinstalling Lion.
    This is what binds you legally, not what users say or sites suggest you can do.

    No "Rosetta" sorry.

    (there are reports of hacking Lion to work on 32 bit Intel Core Duo Mac's,it's unsupported by Apple and not advised)
    Didn't get Lion?
    These are user to user support forums and Apple doesn't respond here,
    We users can't speak for Apple about your free Lion status or problems downloading, reissuing a download.
    It's possible Apple could be spacing out the downloads as not to knock the servers offline. So be patient.
    If after a week or so when the initial rush is over, and you still haven't gotten your Lion, I suggest you contact Apple.
    Mission critical
    If your using Mac's in a mission critical type environment or have third party hardware you must rely upon working correctly. It's advised to wait until all the bugs, driver updates, third party software and other issues are resolved before upgrading. This might take several months. Then if you do so, do one machine at a time and carefully test everything before full deployment.

    Hi,
    I bought my macbook recently and it suppose to be free for me to download lion from the app store but it's not. can anyone tell me why the app store still asking me to buy it?  

    But it can be that it says, your Sn is invalid.

  • How do I update to Mac OS X Lion for free?

    I bought my Macbook Pro in June of 2011.  At the time of my purchase, I was told that I was eligible for a free upgrade to Mac OS X Lion.  I was supposed to recieve an email for the upgrade when it was ready and I never recieved the notice.  I would like to know how I can take advantage of my free upgrade.

    You cannot.  You had 30 days from purchase.
    You can download from App Store for $30.

  • I was able to download Lion for free. I checked the App Store and it says Lion was installed. I'm not sure how to make it work, though. Nothing popped up when it was completed, it just says "Installed". How do I get it to work?

    I shut down my computer and restarted it, but nothing happened.

    Look inthe Applications folder and run Install Mac OS X Lion app.

  • I got my MBP on june 16 so how can i get lion for free?

    i got my macbook pro for birthday and i read that if you purchased it after june 6th you can get lion for free but how do i do that?

    The wording on this page seems convoluted to me:
    "Users must request their Up-to-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request."
    If I purchased my shiny new Macbook Pro on June 11, according to the first part of the statement, I must request my Up-to-Date upgrade by July 11, yet the second part of the statement states I will have 30 days from Lion's official release date to make my request.
    I am hoping the second statement is the correct one. It would be helpful if Apple fixed this inconsistency...

  • Can I download Oracle9i for free

    Hi,
    When I was searching through google for free database downloads, I come accross the following url :
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
    where I can see all oracle products, can I download Oracle9i for free, so that I don't face problem with regarding to payment etc, in future. Wherein I am using JBoss developing ejbs, now planning to go for database, something which is open source. Yeah I come accrosss MySQL, but when I can download Oracle9i for free, no need to think of MySQL., please guide me.
    Regards
    Shiva.

    Yes, you can download Oracle9i database at the very bottom of the page you have quoted. The license allows you to use it for development purposes only and you would license the product when you go to a production environment. You will see the full terms of the license when you go to download it.
    Regards
