No valid license for a free trial

[Meesh]

So I downloaded FFXIV through the free trial link here - https://store.steampowered.com/app/312060/FINAL_FANTASY_XIV_Online_Free_Trial/

The launcher prompted me to make an Enix account, which I did via the launcher. It asked for a 16 digit registration key which I did not happen, so I closed out of the game to do some exploration on the website.

I found the mog station and it confirms on there "Account Type: Free Trial". However, when I try to login using this same launcher I get the following error message:


"This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired.
To register a license, please visit the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station (https://sqex.to/Msp).

For further help with this error message, please check this FAQ (https://sqex.to/QXbgu). "


Not as expected as I've never played final fantasy in my life.

I've already searched around in here and found the link about deleting the documents / my games folder and trying again, which doesn't seem to make a difference.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

you dont delete the folder, you edit the FFXIV_Boot.cfg (if force closing the launcher and retrying doesn't fix it)
