Normally, with OS updates, it works within three months. As an example. if Panther is released three months from today and you bought a PowerMac or whatever with Jaguar, you could send it the Prrof of Purchase along with a copy of your receipt and Apple will send you the update for a shipping fee. I've only sent in once for 10.2 after I purchased an iMac that came with 10.1.5.
Cheers,
