Everything they have posted in a variety of websites and in all interviews and things I have seen have all explicitly stated if you bought arr on steam you need to buy hw on steam. When I bought mine I double triple checked to be certain it was compatible. Even when you went onto the SE store you said you bought hw on they have this...

Notice: This product is not compatible with the Steam version of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. If you’ve purchased FFXIV: A Realm Reborn on Steam, then you must also purchase FFXIV: Heavensward on Steam to upgrade your existing account.

Its right there in the main text, not in small print, not off to the side, nothing. You don't even have to scroll down to see it. Can't really fault SE for that one
