    Most of the software probably is the latest version. If not, most upgrades are free. You use the coupons if there is an OS upgrade and you need to prove you actually already own a license for the OS (to get a rebate, for instance). Note that the OS version is printed on the coupon.

    The 10.1.x upgrades are always free.

    The next time you hear of an OS X update that Apple will ask you to pay for, you will be able to use those coupons. Almost 100% sure that 10.2 will be charged, maybe just 'shipping and handling' fees, but most likely if you go to an Apple store, handing in that coupon will give you the update for free, or if it is big enough for a ful 129$, you will get a substantial discount.



    Bottom line, keep em in a place you will remember cause you will need em eventually
