Install client on another machine with digital version only?

[JeremyH]

If there is a link to the actual download executable, I'm missing it :/ I want to install this game on my laptop for use at a different location, but the website is not giving me the option. What gives?

JeremyH,

The SQUARE ENIX Account Management System and the FINAL FANTASY XIV Websites are not providing you the option to download FINAL FANTASY XIV because no such option exists. If you wish to reinstall the game, you would need to return to the original installation media.

The game is available through several digital storefronts, including the official one provided on the SQUARE ENIX Website. However this does require a purchase through the retailer in question.

You could just back up all the FFXIV files on a USB drive and then copy it into the proper area on your other machine. I did this to install FFXIV on my gf's PC. You just won't have any shortcuts in the start menu, but everything works fine.

This will work. If you want to add the shortcuts in the start menu, you can do so by navigating to this directory:
C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

Where MYNAME is your user name (so, for example, Zaft).

This is an epic fail on their side because i recently had to reformat my hard drive and lost my game and from what your saying i have no way of re-downloading it without buying a new one... epic fail customer service

You know that's a customer fail if the customer loses the disc. If a customer purchased a digital download edition and couldn't redownload it from the store, that would be a vendor fail.

@ OP, do you still have the e-mail account you signed up with the digital storefront for? If your e-mail provider has a search you can do for "Final Fantasy".
