If you set up a profile, unless you bought it second hand, you should be able to play it. I suspect that the 14 day trial you're talking about is the booklet for giving to a friend so *they* can try it for 14 days before deciding whether to buy it.
Hope that helps.

Hi, :hello:

Ok, I have my GW game box the Manuscript is not the Install instructions...I hope the 2CDs are in a jewel case, because on the case is your access key "Key #####-#####-#####-#####-#####" there are 25 numbers & letters that you need to type in when the install wizard asks you for the "Access Key" IF you have no Key you can NOT load or use the game.

Put CD #1 in your optical drive & just follow the instructions it should load the Game.

Any problem post here I will help you get it going :p
