I think you have 30 days between the time you make your purchases What you need to know is that if you purchased the square trade plan from amazon you would have needed to purchase your item on amazon as well

Their site says 30 days ( I could not remember so went went over to check )

I believe it can be done later, per the guy who waited on me, but I wouldn't wait too long.

I did it but you have 30 days since the date of purchase to insure the laptop. I guess you can get the insurance a couple of weeks later and still be able to activate it with the laptop

Not necessarily but it would be best because you know that your computer is insured as soon as you get it and they will replace it if it is damaged in shipment.

David, my purchase of this plan was to cover a refurbished product. Unfortunately, I have not studied the full details of this plan as of today. I would think the plan holder would be able to assist you better than me.

I spoke with two Squaretrade reps today on the phone, and both said no. One said that it used to be the case, but they recently changed the policy. In order to avoid problems with claims down the road, he said that a plan for a computer purchased at Best Buy, for example, should be purchased directly from the Squaretrade website. I do not know why that would have changed since the June 26th email below...Major bummer.

Some people have said if you call MSI and explain what you're going to do before opening it (and breaking the sticker), they will make a note that your laptop is still covered. I'm going to do that when I pick up another 8GB module for mine.

Yes you can, but I read that it needs to be within 30 days of purchase. I bought my Kindle Fire HD at Staples and was offered a protection plan from the exact same company (Square Trade) for over 3 times the Amazon.com price!

Yes. Make sure the Applecare starts on your purchase date, not the seller's

Hi, it is one individual plan to one drive, and the plan is tied to a specific serial number for the drive. They need to be purchased together, but I believe you may be able to purchase the plan and register it up to 30 days after you purchase a drive. Hope this helps.

Whenever you buy something electronic especially, you never know what can cause it to malfunction. It could be a little bump then without the protection plan, you don't have it anymore.

I believe you can buy a "protection plan" from Amazon for this device. One is listed for this device.

Yes it is covered under the warranty. You may have to produce documentation proving that you're the purchaser.

Hello Brian The laptop is well built and comes with a one year factory warranty. I don't believe it is necessary to buy an additional warranty, unlessyou are going to do a lot of traveling by air. Great choice and enjoy your new computer!

its all pre installed and must be activated, depending on who you buy the laptop from.

I am not for sure. But i got the coverage just in case. I think it might be 2 weeks to 1 month after purchase. I highly recommend it. I have never had to use any my protection plans yet but would not be without them on electronics.

It should still be covered by the guarantee for a minimum of 1 year. if you have teh packaging then check that and contact customer srevices

I think so. You go onto the square trade website and you register the device with its serial number and such. I don't think where you buy the laptop matters (just make sure it is one that square trade covers). Good luck!

No, it works fine without the protection plan. Generally speaking protection plans (insurance) benefit the seller more than you but it might be worth it to you for peace of mind.
