FF XIV I just purchased on steam DOES NOT WORK!

[gregbrown85260]

I get a message saying invalid registration code no matter what I enter.

are you sure you are using the right password? Your square store account and Mog Station account are different accounts. It's a dumb system, but whatever

Your fix did not work. The codes given by Steam are "incompatible" with my previous Square Enix Account. After over a week of research and banging my head against a wall, we've found the ONLY solution is to create a brand new Square Enix account through the Steam Launcher for FFXIV, which would force me to have to start over from scratch (whereas I already had multiple characters over level 40.

So, yes, i did look "down a few inches". Your solution isn't helpful.

Wrong problem, you didnt even read and it says here on the steam page : "Note:
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online game packages available on Steam may only be registered and added on a Square Enix account that has the base game “FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition" (or formerly known as "FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn”) purchased on Steam.

To view your 20 digit registration codes after purchase, simply right-click on “FINAL FANTASY XIV” in your Steam “Library” and select “View CD key” on the Steam client. The codes will always be accessible from this location should you ever need to reference them again.

The registration codes can be redeemed immediately on the Mog Station http://sqex.to/Msp. If this is your first time installing and registering "FINAL FANTASY XIV Online", you may redeem your registration codes during the initial installation process.

Please note that the Brazilian and Russian subscription and optional item prices were adjusted on November 15th, 2017. Please visit the following links for further details: Brazilian / Russian prices."

Been there since launch on steam in Feb of 2014.

Uh Oh, user error.

So because you can't read it's clearly an issue? Because YOU messed up and did not look down a few inches to read store page.

p.s., not even the same issue as I have posted is any help for a dope who cant read or follow instructions.

They shouldnt be....is the code for the expansion you are tying to register, right? If you alredy bought the basegame from the official website you wont be able to register the expansion you bought from steam because they are unfortunaly, incompatible...is that the case? I didnt understand your issue, sorry.

Why would you create multiple characters?

I am not having the registration issue, I just wanted to say my piece. I make multiple characters because I can. I really don't see why it bothers you so much for people to want to make multiple characters. I have made multiples for multiple reasons including, different people I play with play on different worlds/data centers. You can't visit worlds outside your data center. One of the other reasons I already stated. If people want to spend the money and time to make multiple characters let them. It causes you no pain at all.

also if you are having trouble entering the codes in the mogstation section. try spamming the next key it was the only way entering the codes would work for me, otherwise I was a notice saying invalid codes.

[Krisskl]

same here i needed to Add New Service Account in mog station to work ;( and start from sthe start

[wikkid]

so i bought final fantasy xiv through steam i put my code in and all launch it and it doesnt run does any one have a fix for this

[ctaffy919]

I'm in the same boat, its telling me my licenses is invalid

[Asi]

I had to solve two issues.
1. Couldnt enter steam codes to mog station.
Go to Manage your account -> Add New service account -> Then I could enter successfully.
2. Clicking on start popped up invalid licence
Go to data center - click to change - then the game will ask you for the account - pick the correct one - choose data center again.

I mean, They straight up told you on the games page and you can easy find articles in the FAQ on their site about it

What is the difference between the Steam and Windows PC versions of FINAL FANTASY XIV?

Both versions of FINAL FANTASY XIV are identical. However, due to some additional features associated with the Steam platform, a standard Windows PC version of FINAL FANTASY XIV is incompatible with a Steam version of the same title. Expansions also must be registered on the same platform as their base game.

Notices regarding this version incompatibility are available on the product pages for both the SQUARE ENIX Online Store and the Steam Store. Please be sure to purchase the correct version for your SQUARE ENIX Account.

Please also note, on August 29, 2019, we implemented a restricted login check process for Steam service account users as part of our fraud prevention measures. Due to this, for Steam version service accounts, the FINAL FANTASY XIV client application will need to be launched from your Steam Library directly. Any other method of direct startup will no longer be available, and you will receive a message stating that you do not have any subscriptions or game time on the account.

In addition, if you have a non-Steam Windows version registered on a service account, you will need to use the standalone Windows launcher downloaded from our official site. Non-Steam Window service accounts will no longer be able to launch the game from Steam. For more information, please refer to the Lodestone article here:

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/d9d3dc27e7d80576f0d64b11e5727afe494a3b81

Please note that this means if you are playing on the normal Windows launcher and this does not work then you will need to download the launcher through the Steam client which you can download from Steam. If you are using the Steam launcher and it does not work, you will be required to use the normal Windows launcher downloaded from this site: https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

Maybe im misunderstanding but did you do the option that says transfer to full game in mogstation for your trial account first? And then after that it still didnt work?
