FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Purchase Questions

Sorry if this question has been asked previously but if I buy the collectors edition can i register the pre order/ collectors items with my old 'normal' account and then use the new copy of the game to make a new account and get the first free month?

Yep, though the new acct won't get any of the bonus items.

They haven't confirmed that we can use the CE codes to 'upgrade' our 1.0 normal account to CE account. In fact, according to this post:

a german rep said that it's not possible to use CE (ARR) codes to upgrade a 1.0 normal account, and we would have to use the service center to buy the CE (ARR) items for $20. They've stated that pre-order codes can be used with any accounts, but the specific scenario for 1.0 normal accounts to CE ARR hasn't been addressed officialy.
