Mountain Lion redemption code has already been used

Just gone through the process to get a redemption code for Mountain Lion. Successfully received the PDF that contained the code, tried to redeem it in the Mac App store and got an error saying:


"This code has already been used. Each code may only be used once."


Oh dear. Are they sending out duplicates? What should I do now?

@ Marc.H the link was up before the actual release so 3 x 24 = 72. That said I did receive the code today.


Although I already updated without the Appstore the updates also seem to work as I got the SMC update for ML. So whichever way you install it, it seems to work.


If we would have had a confirmation email from the beginning stating it would take 72 hours I guess most people wouldn't have made complaints on this forum. It's the lack of any feedback or info that caused all this frustration.

Same here. One email, Two codes. No password. Somebody give me a PDF decrypting tool. Lol!


UPDATE: I stand corrected. Guys, I just input the last working code I received (Yesterday). Which was giving me a credit card-error. I just reinput it and it's downloading now. I am sorry if this doesn't work for you. But give all the codes Apple sent you a re-try. Thank you. I hope it this helps. 🙂
