Purchasing Digitally For Someone
Yes, thats all you needed.

If I understand you correctly, the answer would be that you cannot install a standard edition twice, so installing from your CD and then upgrading to the DDU wouldn’t do it. A completely separate and full account needs to be purchased.
If that is what you intend, then yes you could download the game onto the system using your account in order to get the files onto the computer. Where I get a little concerned, though, is when you have the account in your name and she wants to separate it into a second autonomous account. Perhaps one of our players who has done this can help you with advice.

Op yes, you can do exactly what you described. The only difference between the accounts is the cdkey. The client itself is exactly the same.
@Gaile, thats not what they said., They intends to purchase a new game online through this site, and copy his current client over to the fiance’s computer.
Yes, you can use the disc you have to install the client on a second computer. The client is not bound to any particular account. When you start an account for your fiancé I’d recommend a 100% separate account just for Murphy’s Law type reasons.
Everyone that’s been buying a digital version of the game from ArenaNet’s site has been accused of having a fraudulent purchase. This means the account will be banned really soon after activating it.
This is NOT true, i bought the game digitally, and have never been accused of anything/had my account terminated…

Everyone that purchased it since the maintenance(not last one but the one before that) has been accused of fraud and has been banned. Every single person that bought it since then.

Some (not everyone) have been having this issue. It seems to have started at the beginning of the month – no idea if its been fixed.

Are you sure it has been 100%?
After this : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Billing-Maintenance-2-NOV-7-00AM-PDT the issue started and has been going on for anyone buying it ever since. Might’ve been fixed at the last maintenance again but I doubt it as there’s still more people adding to the list at this very moment.
well you can buy it online at gamestop (digital versions ava.) if all else fails thats where mine came from as a gift from a friend
