[QUOTE="dealwise, post: 2231651, member: 34259"] “purchase date not validated” means in Apple database, it’s activated. Like [USER=10965]@sid1712[/USER] said, Apple products (MacBooks, iPhones, whatever) get activated once the device is online after getting set up. Logging an iCloud account or not doesn’t relate to product activation. Not to scare the OP or anyone but “purchase date not validated” means Apple doesn’t consider it as a legitimate purchase and so until they manually over-write this info in their back end system, it’ll continue to be considered illegitimately sold device :( And for Apple to change their back end system, usually sending soft copy of the purchase invoice is sufficient. But in this case, if they denied that too, that’s a serious problem. [USER=83091]@MarioBros[/USER] was it a “Fulfilled by Amazon” product ? If so, you should complain to Amazon. On the contrary, if it wasn’t and with Apple website showing that info, this indicates amazon seller has sold probably an illegally procured device. I’m sure most of us here know what an illegally procured device would mean. [/QUOTE]
