Maybe I am not seeing it, but I downloaded the Demo, really enjoyed it. Did the math and decided to get a lifetime subscription. Here is the problem, is there a way to upgrade the demo download to full version or do I have to redownload the full 7 gigs again? Also I read there might be issues with my account because it was a demo account, and without a product key my account will not be flagged as full version? I tried logging into the demo thinking it would automatically patch to full version, but it is definately still the demo version with no additional patching.
Hope this makes some kind of sense, thanks in advance!
Lifetime subscription only pays for the subscription. you still need to buy the retail game and apply the retail key. you will not need to download the game as the demo and the retail is the same. only the setting status of yur account determines if you are playing the demo or the full game.

It says free digital copy, or am I misunderstanding it?

No you're right. You can play just fine without a separate retail key if you get the lifetime. Apparently since you don't really (or usually) get an actual retail key, there is a problem with days calculating for veteran rewards.
ok they have new lifetime subscription that includes the key . since you still playing demo appears there is a problem with the account that the key did not get applied to your account. you will need to contact billing to fix that problem. once they straighten it out then you would be able to play with the client you already have downloaded.
or there may be a section on your account that says unused key sometime electronic purchases of keys are added like that for you to apply.
