Incorrect or no longer valid Pre-Order Code

[Calastir]

So I'm getting this prompt when I redeem the code through PS3....

But I still tried to log into the client, the launcher got updated, some policy needed to be accepted... then I got to the play button, when I click it... I get no valid or active service account. Is that because I haven't successfully redeemed the code yet?

It sounds likely.

Redeem at:

・PS3 system [XMB（X Media Bar)] → [Account Management] → [Redeem Codes]
・PS3 system [XMB（X Media Bar)] →[PlayStation®Store]→[Redeem Codes]

I may have misunderstood though. If you've already redeemed I've heard that you will get an error untl early access if live, but don't quote me.
