Hold your horses - or at least create some backups.

Self quote... I went through and created 3 epic accounts to test and the quote below was my findings. I'm super happy about the free alts and the undoubtedly and hopefully large quantity of actual new players this promotion will bring. I however can't help but wonder if Frontier is aware that existing PC commanders buying on the Epic store can wind up getting nothing for the $30 charge when the promotion is over?
What $30 charge? Shouldn't this free account be free forever, if obtained within the one week time limit?
Those who pick it up for free during this promotional week get it forever for free. After this week though when the promotion is over you will have to pay for it. The Epic store clearly shows the price will be $30 once the promotion is over. I brought this up because in the current condition you can get a free account via the Epic store (which will later require money) but people buying a copy from Epic for an alt after the promotion could find themselves without the second copy at all if they unknowingly link it to their existing account.
In my testing (so I can report on it during the live stream of Elite Week tomorrow) I intentionally linked a newly created epic account to my existing CMDR account (so I wouldn't waste my actual epic account) and confirmed that when you do so, the "purchase" is lost. You get nothing at all and just wind up playing your existing account.
Oh, ok, thanks for the clarification!
It is not possible, uliando. At all. I tested thoroughly. Your "purchase"/entitlement to the copy of the game obtained via the epic launcher is only usable via the epic launcher. Period.
Most disappointing thing for me is that although I can run two copies of Elite in the same time on the same PC, I can't multicrew. And I was hoping for some cockpit company.
I suspect that because both versions use the same location on system disk to store journal files and commanders status, when I invite my alt, he is immediately unavailable - i think game treats him as if he was in multicrew, because I just entered multicrew mode.

Just to update people.
Support are aware of the issue and yes even though they are UK based they do have people working on it.
However, please remember they are working remotely so it's not as easy as normal circumstances would dictate.
Hopefully you'll be playing the game soon.

You both joined the forum today. I have 6500 hr's in-game since sept 2014We novices and if he stuck on commander registration as me and other novices we can't learn everything for hour, but your examples and very strange, you speak about imagination, but takes from example games only bad and subjective things. If your friend uliando playing long time why he speak badly if is the best space sim?
Unite the good things from big and popular games and multiple this, 3D map and gameplay on the Earth from GTA, building from Sims, gameplay from BF, territory from EVE (if eve is big, i don't know), I hope it's really can be like a star citizen from dreams, from dreams, dude. If I understand correctly, dreams have no boundaries, which means that you can imagine the maximum possibilities for "the game = the real world" with a drop of fantasy (spaceships and open sectors and so on).But we really see such a game only in dreams.
I trust in Frontiers vision and future for their game. It will take time to add all the things that have been spitballed (idiom look it up) on the forum and elsewhere.
Copying and/or meshing past games is not the answer.
Star Citizen is an cult of pipe dreamers who will never see a complete game because Roberts is an faux accented idiot who can't even manage his sibling. There's no game there, just vignettes you can do LOL
Spaceships are not FANTASY. SciFi, Speculative fiction etc. are completely different and any library who mixes them are ignorant illiterates.
There's no science in Fantasy. His Dark Materials is SF like StarWars and StarTrek and Buck Rogers and Rick and forking Morty
Hobbits are Fantasy Unicorns, Gods, Thor, Trump Etc.
Magic, religion and centaurs is fantasy
Final Fantasy games lol combine magic and SF So does a great book called Witchworld.
Very hard to do as its as complex as it sounds.
Dune is SF because the Bene Gesserit are just skilled not supernatural

Just managed to pass the tests so cmdr2 is now in possession of a license - great fun with a glass of wine in one hand!
The trickiest bit is choosing a new name as every single name from blakes 7 has been taken, I'm not sure if I'm upset about having to re-select or happy to be playing a game with so many like minded people.

Happy.
Shame you can't use the vanity camera during training, oversight of course.

Thankfully, Elric's daughter Oona Von Bek is soon to make an appearance at the Alliance Council representing The Cosmic Balance.
