Title: can't have trial period....

My guess would be that you, or somebody who looks just like you, had a free trial already in the past.

Unfortunately, it's a one time deal. Once the initial two weeks is up, it never repeats.

$14.95 will get ya flying though.

Yep, like I said, you or somebody who looks like you...etc.

H2H, and offline play is of course still free.

yeah, your right. That would be rediculous.

What the heck was I thinking?

If you have played AH before, you already had a two week free trial. It only happens once in your lifetime. It is a single event, a one shot deal et al.

H2H is online and each room can hold up to 8 people I believe.

A subscription will get you into the MA and other arena's though.

If you haven't subscribed to AH before (IE never played online), a quick email or phone call to HTC normally gets things sorted out.

cheers,

I gave my buddy my Windows Me Cd to upgrade from win98 a few years ago..a few months later he downloaded AH and he got the same message. So I think billing detects Windows Serial Numbers as one of the ways to prevent people from using the two week free trial repeatedly.

Maybe somebody has the same Windows Serial Number as yours.  :noid

They dont use serial numbers, but they do use the windows installation files of some sort.

I don't want to say anything else at the risk of getting in trouble. Or, at least last I checked that was how they tracked the free trials.
