I have a quick question regarding applecare activation. I bought applecare with my 13" MBP in january of 2010, but never activated it. I needed to pay some bills, realized it was still sitting on the shelf unopened, and sold it on craigslist. This morning I got a call from the buyer saying he wasselling being asked for proof of purchase when trying to activate it. Since this was my only major Apple purchase, and since I didn't activate it, I have no idea how the process works. I told him I'd look into it and I still have all my paperwork from buying it. I know people sell applecare on ebay etc., all the time so it seems to me they'd want proof of purchase of the hardware more than the applecare.

Anyways, I told him be might want to go to the Apple Store, but I figured I'd check in here to see what you folks say.

It's asking the buyer for proof of purchase of his laptop, not the Applecare.

That's what I figured, thanks.

Bought it with where? If you bought it at the Apple Online Store, or possibly (probably) Apple Retail, you were sold the auto enroll version of AppleCare, in which case it's already activated and tied to your MBP.

I bought it from the bookstore at the school I was attending.
