FFXIV trial registration code

[MagpiePrincess]

so i installed it logged in with my SE account and then it asked for a registration code but i cant find it anywhere

PS i cant find the CD-key

[Chao]

Are you saying it's asking for a registration code to do the 14-day free trial? I am unclear on what you need help with and tried to add you for a more efficient back and forth. I suppose i should have posted here first.

[MagpiePrincess]

14-day free trial is right

[XDM]

no one going to answer that?
i also want to try the trial. i downloaded it and filled out all the info and i only got 2 emails no 3rd with the registration code

[nelioluisc]

I'm with the same problem.

[ItsToofy!]

All I had to do was exit out of the launcher, run it again and log in. After that I was all set.

It was pretty confusing but the above worked, just relaunch the game on the registration code w-window and your free trial will be working.

[Barret]

relaunch the game, login without entering the one-time password worked

[CurSePamPeRs]

There is two different client the trial one and the regular if u try downloading the regular and log with a trial account wont work i know this cuz i had same problem until i finally decide to buy game

Anyone wondering about this in the future, right click the game in your Steam library list and click View CD key.

This may work for the 'bought' version, but we're asking about the FREE TRIAL, which doesn't come with a key.

I'm having the very same problem, and relaunching the launcher doesn't help.
It keeps saying:
You could not log in because the service account in question is not registered.
If you would like to log in to the service, pplease log in to the Square Enix Account Management System and register the service account.


... which then asks to input a CD key.

Apart from the facts that
My "users" folder is not on C:\
and
my "%users%/[Username]" folder did not contain "My Documents"

this seems to have done the trick.
At least I could log in and it is downloading the client now. [Edit] Apparently there was so little left to download that it finished while I was typing this. [/edit]


For those having trouble finding the above mentioned folders, just go to "my documents" from you 'Computer' window directly. It should be in that little tree diagram on the lefthand side.

**Downloaded game (trial)

**Installed it.

**Asked to make a new account - I did. pressed NEXT

**Asked me to confirm email address
Received an email - REGISTRATION - with confirmation code - I did confirm and entered the code. Pressed NEXT.

**Received a new mail REGISTRATION COMPLETED - with the following text:
"Thank you for registering your Square Enix account.

** Asks me for the following

"Please enter your registration code for FINAL FANTASY XIV.

* The registration code is a string of 20 alphanumeric characters enclosed in your package.

SOLVED

Closed Steam - all of it.
Closed the Final fantasy app.
Reopened Steam and pressed play in the Final Fantasy Trial game.
This time I had an account so I was asked :
USER ...ok, have one
PASS: ok, Have one too
ONE TIME PASS. I ignored this ( nothing in this field)
went straight to more downloads.
So far so good .

After creating a Square Enix account close the game when it asks for the registration code, reopen it, login with your Enix account UN and PW. Don't enter anything for the one time code and then it will bypass the registration code and allow you to play the trial

This is the only fix I could find. Nothing else worked. Which is completely and utterly retarded. I dont understand why the game would make you jump through all these hoops just to play a trial version of the game. You would think they would want to make it as easy as possible to get new people to play the game and potentially purchase it in the future.

That being said. This will have the be the best game to have ever gamed to get me to pay a monthly subscription. Is this game better than Netflix, better than Amazon video. You know with amazon prime/video I also get two day free shipping on all my purchases. Is FF14 better than that? We'll see.
