Hey guys, I'm a little confused by some of the wording on the games store page on steam.

A friend of mine has given me a 21 day free pass which I am enjoying thus far. On the steam store page (there is a sale at the moment) it states "Product keys will not work with existing EVE Online accounts". So will this code still work on my trail account or not?

Many thanks in advance.

You can "upgrade" your trial account to a full account with the steam key (and get the 30 days game time) but you can't get another 30 days with the steam key if you've already a full account.

If you upgrade your trial account with the steam key, your friend will NOT get the free plex.
