Is the upgrade to Mountain Lion free for members of the Mac OS Developer Program?

I let my Mac developer account lapse a few months ago, but at least here's how it worked with Lion:

If you went into the developer portal and claimed the App Store redemption code for the beta, then you were automatically licensed in the store for the release version as though you had paid for it.

If you didn't claim it for the beta, then you could still claim it after the fact and get a license to the release version.

Am I the only one who had problem installed the GM (dev. final release) with FileVault 2 enabled? Anyone can confirms he had difficulties installing from the MAS too with FV 2 or it worked flawlessly?

I had the same. The preparatory install that is carried out by the app, while still in Lion, went fine but upon restarting, no further install process took place and it would just boot back into Lion again.

I had to disable FV, install, then enable it again to get the GM working.

If you bought one of the updated models from June 2012, don't forget you can get the upgrade for free: http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/

Interestingly enough I went through their redeem process (which is sort of convoluted, with a password protected PDF), and was then told "This code has already been used. Each code may only be used once." when I tried to redeem the code they gave me... So you might want to wait a bit until they sort out the bugs.

I am having the exact same issue. I'm hoping it's a minor issue with validation, but that seems like a weird message to get if that's the case?

edit: swapped "had" for "am having" as this is on-going

No, it's not. At least, not yet. "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)"

Getting the same error followed by a popup telling me that the product is temporarily unavailable and that I should try again later.

I'm getting updates for what seems to be every application from Apple though.

#1 question I want answered: Does it support TRIM for 3rd party SSD drives without repeatedly doing a command line hack?

No, but if you use Trim Enabler(http://www.groths.org/?page_id=322) 'command line hack' turns into simple slide to enable.

No compatible XCode release yet, it seems. Holding off since I can't afford being unproductive at the moment.

You're okay, actually: I've been using the GM for a while and Xcode 4.5 DP3 is pretty good. It's available on the iOS developer portal if you have access. There's a GM of 4.4 in the Mac developer portal too (should be the same build as the final). Both of these are for Mountain Lion.
