I was told by a rep in the store that I would get an email. What the rep didn't tell me is that I had to go to apple.com/macosx/uptodate Notice the spelling. Once on this page you will need to fill in a form that will ask you for the date you bought your mac, the serial number, and your apple ID and password. ONce you do this, and you meet the qualifications, it will display your redemption code, as well as emailing it to you. As for downloading it without installing, just cancel installation once the down load is complete, and then go find the proper file and burn it to disk. I did this as well as saving it to another external hard drive. HTH Kliphton SR (twitter) http://twitter.com/kliphton72 (Marriage Blog) http://cm-i-t-real-world.blogspot.com Sent from my IMac
