I have just tried the demo and I liked it, so I asked for an refferal key. Got this key and added it to my account, downloaded the game and uninstalled the demo... But, still every time i log in the game is in demomode. Even tried to open an new account, added another refferal key to it, but still the game believes its an demo...
Mmm, sorry, but you need to purchase a full Retail copy of the game to unlock it. Average price is $30 and it comes with 30 days of play time. You have the full client, but need a retail key to use it. If you purchase from a digital download site, they should send your retail key immediately, and since you have the client, no need to download it again.
I'd wondered about this too. To my surprise I got one referral in this weekend. They downloaded the game and played through the tutorial. But then hit a roadblock after we did "Save the SS Azsura" or whatever that one was called.
I'd say at least bump up these trials to let them play the first patrols in the Vulcan Sector to give them an honest feel for the game. It isn't much to base a purchase on in this gamer's opinion even if I do like the game myself.
Anyone can play the Demo without a key. The referral key gives you and your friend special bonuses if you purchase the game. See this page: http://www.startrekonline.com/referral

isn t that what these buddy keys are for, i thought i might be able to test all the game for 5 days without buying it first...
the demo is nice but its less than a brief look

A Buddy Key does offer 5 days of free play, but they are much rarer and don't come with any bonuses. See this page: http://www.startrekonline.com/claim_buddy_key
Maybe you can ask the friend that referred you if he still has his buddy pass.
