so... I am trying to install this game for my dad (hes a startrek nut), and I am quite new to mmos.

so... the game installation proccedure pops up a website where it wants the product key, so i gave it the product key.

nothing happens.

what was the product key for, exactly? cause it clearly doesnt link the game to the account... since this forum account, nor the account I am going to make for my dad was logged in at the time of product-key-placed-into-website.

Is there some imstall limit i need to be worried about? cause i just installed the game on a rather old desktop, that, is expected to get replaced soon, I find that slightly odd for a subscription based game... did we pay for the game, or an account?

So: my question is: how do I link the product key to the account... I assume i cant re-input the product key(although I havent tried),... will it be automatic? and if so, can install the game on other computers in my house so that the game can be playe on not just the one computer i just installed it on?

can my dad log in on any computer with STO installed?

do my questions kinda make sence?

    to activate the game you need to be logged in on the account that you want to register the retail key on.
    you enter the retail key from the purchase of the game.
    you then select a subscription option
    you then need to enter the payment for that subscription credit card, gametime card or paypal account
    that payment method needs to be validated.
    your will then have an active game on that account with 30 day bonus paly time. If you used a credit card or paypal you will not be charged for the subscription until the 30 days bonus is used up.

    if using a gmetime card the 30 days bonus is added to the time of the gamecard.

    if you are trying to setup a demo account
    you need to be login to that account and click on this link to activate the account as a demo.
