Mac Client

[Avenger]

The thing about XIV is it not based if you have the client only if you have the key attached to your account for that platform so even if you use the free trial client or get the data from your friend it not useable unless you buy the key or already have it for that platform attached to your account.

Really? If you already have the client installed and are paying for a subscription, what is the justification for having to buy an additional unlock code?

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that someone with a subscription cannot use the trial version (e.g. on someone else's PC, or their own) unless they purchase an unlock code, and that upgrading from a trial period to a full subscription also requires purchasing that code. <That's too bad.>
