I recently purchased a copy of Lion, will I be eligible for a free upgrade of Mountain Lion?

no, sorry.
However, Lion has some great features in and of itself!
you will have to purchase it for 20 dollars in the app store (USA price) to upgrade to ML, the redemption codes that you may be reacting to are for people who recently purchased a computer and were told that they would be able to receive a free download of ML when it is released to make sure their computers are up to date.
This allows apple to release the hardware before the latest software, but still offer the latest software for free, because they're cool like that .
I hope this helps

    yes.http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/
    It shows up as $19.99 on the app store.
    Really?  That's strange since Apple hasn't announced a release date and it's not actually available for download in the app store.

  • Attempted to redeem free upgrade to Mountain Lion today but App store said the code had already been used... though it hadn't

    I was in the process of redeeming my free upgrade to Mountain Lion today, and received a message in the "redeem" section of the App store that the redemption code had already been used. It hadn't been, unless there's a glitch in Apple's system that assigns codes. I accidentally clicked the submit button twice within a few seconds (believing I hadn't clicked it the first time, as nothing on the page indicated that I had submitted the form), as I was attempting to "redeem" my free upgrade.
    Any ideas of what to do would be great. I'm brand new to the Mac world, and am interested in running the most up-to-date OS, especially since I've just procured the very top of the line new Macbook Pro w/Retina display, etc.
    Thanks,

    The App Store has a forum area where experts await with answers:

  • I just bought a new iMac and am new to the desktop Mac. I read you can get a free upgrade to Mountain Lion if you bought your computer after June 11,2012. Do I have to do something before Mountain Lion is released? If so what?

    Just check in with this link when ML is released for instructions on how to claim your upgrade.

  • Free upgrade to Mountain Lion didn't download and now my code will not work again!

    Okay so I bought a new MacBook Pro on Sunday and as Mountain Lion has only just come out and I have just bought my notebook I qualify for the free upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion. After filling in all the required information I recieved my redeem code and it started to download. After several failed attempts with the same error message of "Hash Mismatch" appearing I finally gave up and left it for a day or so. As I have come on to my laptop today in an attemt to download to update, I have looked everywhere in App Store (purchases, downloads) and Mountain Lion is not anywhere. I have also tried to re enter the codes but it is saying that the codes have already been used etc.
    So now I am stuck and do not know what to do and I really dont want to have to pay the money to get Mountain Lion when I should be able to get it for free.
    Any help you could give me would be appreciated, even if it is just an apple support number that I could call and get everything sorted out.
    Thank you.

    After you press download, check your Launchpad.  The icon will show up with what looks like a white dot where you'd expect to see a progress bar.  That white dot actually is the progress bar, as ML is a 4GB download and can take anywhere from 1 to 15 hours, depending on your connection speed.  On the average 1.5Mbps economy connection, it will take about 7 hours to download.

  • Will my documents be saved when I upgrade to Mountain Lion OS X?

    Hi. I am planning on upgrading to Mountain Lion OS X when it comes out in July. I have all the system and harware requirements. I have never done an upgrade before. Does anyone know: Will my MSword for Mac and iLife programs and everything still be on there? And will all my pictures and documents still be there? Or because of the upgrade will it be a completely new start? I am confused. Please help. Thanks

    Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
    By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/
    That way, should anything untowards happen during the Upgrade, you will LOSE NOTHING.

  • Will my disk be formatted if I upgrade to Mountain lion when it releases

    Hello, I have a Mac running snow leopard, if I upgrade to mountain lion when it releases what I have to format my disk.

    Mountain Lion is not a shipping product quite yet; that's scheduled for July.
    Here is some general information on the upgrade, including the current hardware requirements.
    Details beyond those posted at the Apple web site or in the Keynote are under non-disclosure; anybody that knows the details of Mountain Lion likely can't discuss it, and speculation isn't something that's generally permitted here in the forums.
    If you're interested in an early copy of Mountain Lion, you can join the Mac developer program.
