Apple halts Mountain Lion Up-to-Date Program after brief launch




This morning Apple's Up-to-Date program for OS X Mountain Lion appeared to be activated for a short while, allowing a number of people to submit applications for their free copies of Apple's new OS; however, this appears to have been an error on Apple's part and the Up-to-Date Program has been taken offline.


For people who have purchased a new Mac on or after June 11, Apple is offering a free upgrade to OS X 10.8, which is due out any day now. When the OS is released, users can go to the Up-to-Date Web page and submit an application for their systems. When the application is submitted users will receive a claim code, and when the systems and purchase dates are verified Apple will e-mail a redemption code for use in the Mac App Store. This code will allow a free purchase of Mountain Lion. However, unlike standard purchases that can be installed on any machine, the redemption code is to be used for only one machine.
