PCGAMER Trial

Hi, I bought PC Gamer magazine this month to find that it had a 10 day trial included on the cover disc but I find that after I've installed it directs me to a page to enter my activation key.

Now I've searched hi and low and can't see anything in the magazine or on the disc, It says in the magazine that it will automatically redirect to the right webpage during installation.

I've searched around on the PC Gamer forum but can't see anything that answers this problem, I thought it best to ask here and see if I can get some help?

It would be good if an official dev could answer this for me please.

Thanks.

    My PC Gamer disk had a free trial, but I also can't find any way to get the account activated. Help please! Note that this is the UK version of the magazine, and the July 2010 Issue 215 cover disk

    The trial key is an activation key, you should be able to enter it at http://startrekonline.com/activate

    It isnt even in the description on the support page or anywhere mentioned, it just says put the disc in your computer and it will go striaght into warp with your 15 day trial....its not even 15 days its 10
    I hope you can help :)

    I've checked the disk, and the sleeve and the magazine, and can confirm that there are no activation keys

    Is there some kind of bonus associated with the PC Gamer trial?
