I don't think Apple needs your product serial number for you to purchase Apple Care. I think they know what purchases are associated with your Apple ID Account.

Just an update. Thanks to your advice, I have signed up to Apple Care for my Mcbook Pro 13 Inch. I went for the plan that covers Macbook Air and 13 Inch Macbook Pro. Well that's what the store says anyway. Cost was £199 including Vat and delivery is free. I will get in the box some paperwork. But what surprises me is that in theory, anybody with an Apple Id can sign up to Apple Care, because Apple does not validate your order by checking a product's serial number. Nowhere in the order process was I asked for my Macbook Pro's serial number. I therefore would hate customers to purchase Apple Care, only to find out it's not valid as they bought it 1 year from the original purchase date for example. That's like £200 gone down the drain! I know mine will be accepted, but thought I would point this out for potential customers on here. With kind regards Chris. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
