Save file Final_Fantasy_XIV_Early_Access_Instructions.pdf to your Desktop. After saving, run the file to install your new software.
Serial Number: Not Gonna Show That
Electronic Download
Instructions to sign up for early access to the game:

Visit [Not sure I'm allowed to show that link] and register. You will be notified via email prior to the launch of the game on when you can return and redeem your preorder code to unlock Early Access to the game along with instructions on how to receive your Cait Sith Doll minion and Moogle Cap digital content.

You will need an active Square Enix account to complete this process so, if you want to set one up in advance, please go here: http://na.square-enix.com/members.

My question relates to the "After saving, run the file to install your new software" portion of the quote above. The only thing that comes up when I hit "begin download" is a pdf file explaining how to register for my pre-order bonuses. There is nothing to install. This makes sense as the game has not yet been released, but even so... I'm not missing anything here am I?

You're not missing anything. The instructions are probably the same for any digital purchase, except most of the stuff you'd buy digitally from the SE store would be actual games.

Pretty much all you can do right now is follow the link to the pre-order code redemption site and register your email address.

When it gets closer to launch time they will email you instructions on how to download the client and obtain your in-game items. All of this is stated quite clearly on the pre-order site ...
