Apple officially enabled its Up-to-Date program after launching the new operating system, but some who tried to receive their free upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion immediately ran into problems. Many redemption codes were apparently coming up invalid, so Apple said it would replace the invalid codes over the next three days.

The OS X Server is also available through the Up-to-Date program, but it is restricted to users who bought server models of the Mac mini and Mac Pro.
