Well ive download the Star Trek Online Demo and it was quite big for a demo. So i want to know if the demo is the full version but its locked and has limited features and when you buy it you can activate the key and you have the full game. I just want to know if that's how it works because it would save me a bit of money because i could just buy the card without the disc which is way cheaper?

    yes it is the full game.

    no just a gametime card will not suffice.

    You also need a live product key to unlock the full version, by buying the game itself. (should be on sale various places for 10-15 US dollars.)

    --so you have the demo, but need the retail key (buy the game) and a gametime card or credit card info to enter for the subscription. (yes, even though 30 days comes with the game)

    the game you play on trial is the full game the only difference is the trial code only gives you access to certain features and limits your level, once you purchase\upgrade to the full game the restrictions are removed

    you can not stack trial and buddy key on the same account . It is one or the other not both.

    If you are getting this error it means that the demo product hasn't been applied to your account. Click the link below.

    Otherwise people would be able to play infinitely on buddy codes (which unlike referral or trial codes (AFAIK), have no limitations except alloted time).
