ps4 upgrade technical difficulty

[HEC]

I have the same issue with "Code bing already used" message but I belive it's more down to fact that when you try to redeem it via web it shows the icon of the game with the red shopping basket overlay which means that you've already "purchased" (downloaded for free) this particular item hence it will not let you to "purchase" it again and might be simply giving confusing message about code being used, so in theory if you'd use it on account that have not downloaded the beta stage 2 client it would work. This is caused by the fact that stage 2 beta client is the same product (at the moment) as the "full" game OR Sony did screw up and gave SE codes for free (beta clients) instead of the "full" paid versions.

Either way - my Service account now shows PS4 + PC versions insted of the original PS3 + PC (can't actually try it on PS4 untill I'll get back home) so it seems to be fine, what concerns me more though is that right after upgrading to PS4 version I've registered another copy of PS3 version which went fine through Sony web but still doesn't show as active on Mogstation but I believe that's because it needs me to start up and login to PS3 version again to get it reactivated.

I'm assuming that SE believes that their billing system will prevent people who shouldn't play on the PS4 from doing so. I wrote before that FFXIV's console authentication system is two layers. First on Sony's side, verifying you own the client, then on SE's side verifying you have a valid flag for that console on your account.
