Hello Josh, Tim, and Others, I've changed the subject line because you are talking about the program for getting a free upgrade to Mountain Lion if you purchased either a new Mac from Apple or a qualifying reseller between June 11 and July 25, 2012, or a refurbished Mac from Apple between those dates. This program also applies to new Macs that you buy from qualifying resellers after today, but which come with Lion installed. The program is called "Up-to-Date", and you have to file a request with Apple through their web form either by August 24, 2012 (in the case of purchases before today), or within 30 days of your purchase date (in the case of new Macs purchased after today, but which have Lion loaded as the operating system).
The way this works is that after your purchase is verified you get a coupon code to apply for your purchase of Mountain Lion through the Mac App Store, but I've heard there have been some problems with some of these codes not working in the massive startup today. For more information, check the web page explaining the Up-to-Date program: http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ Josh, the date text field is supposed to refer to the date of your purchase, so they can check for eligibility. I think this is probably easiest if you purchased from an Apple Store or through their online store, because they can immediately match the records to verify your transaction. HTH.
