Hmm, it asks about the purchase date since I got it from someone (not a
store). I will have to ask that. Is there another way to check?

When I went to that page, I just entered the hardware serial number, and
it figured out the rest on its own. Did you try that?

I clicked on the link in "Use the "Check your Coverage" tool on the
Apple Support site to determine if your MacBook Pro model matches the
list of affected products below. Sample results: ..." that went from https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do to https://checkcoverage.apple.com/ ... http://i.imgur.com/skSToNs.png for
a screen capture after entering the serial number (blurred most of it)
from Mac OS X v10.10.5 (Yosemite)'s "About This Mac".

Interesting. Where did you get that serial number exactly? Are you sure you didn't introduce a typo?

Otherwise, I guess you'll need to find out the purchase date somehow.

I copied and pasted from Mac OS X v10.10.5 (Yosemite)'s "About This Mac
like I said earlier. ;)

Yeah. :(

Thanks; though technically you said you "entered" it; so I wasn't sure
if you had typed it. Just checking to be sure. ; )

Yeah. :(

Shouldn't be too hard. Did you get it on eBay from a stranger, or from a friend?

It's a borrowed machine for work. I am waiting for the answer, but it's
