Beta invite but no PC

My friend who is not me just got an email with a beta code for Morrowind, however he doesn't have a PC and only ever played on Xbox. Could he borrow a friend's computer and play it? Would he have to buy the PC version of the game just to play the beta?

    If your friend has a copy of ESO on his PC you should be able to play it there so long as you log into your account and choose the PTS from the launcher.

    No idea if that's actually allowed or not though, I'm not a lawyer

    Edit: Oh yeah, just read that you only have a console account, im not sure then...

    Check to see if it will let you download the game and install the PTS. Console accounts can't usually do that, but I'd expect that the beta invite code would allow you to do so. Otherwise why would they be sending them to console players?

    Of course I could be wrong and it could be that they didn't think that through.

    What you should do is send your invite code to me. Then you will no longer have a problem.

    Being that it is the PTS server which is free, make an account and download the PTS Server, it should let you play once downloaded.

    I got a notice that said the code had been activated on my account, but not an invite. Or do I misunderstand and is this the invite? I only play on the Xbox, I haven't even touched a gaming PC in years.

    I believe that Console players have always been able to play the PTS on PC. I know a few xbone fellows that test almost every release on pts but don't own the game for PC.

    From any PC you can log into your account on the ESO website, and it should show your console account status for live, and instructions for downloading the launcher and game for PTS.

    Theoretically you could not play on another friends system,because PTS on PC does require that you own the base PC game because while it may download, you would have to supply PC account log-in information......removed some stuff to KISS

    Ideally, you wouldn't want to share machines but if its a secure and trusted method, just review the user agreements first and I believe that will lead you to the best answer.

    Any chance of revoking my beta forum access?

    Play ESO on PS4 here and as there isn't a PS4 or Linux PTS cannot participate, nor sign the NDA.

    As it is I have access to the NDA discussions without agreeing to the NDA, do not want.

    They now have 100% access to all of the closed PTS forum which has a lot of NDA info so its actually a concern that needed to be raised in this post.

    I also have a code - I wish to share it someone who wants it and can use and enjoy it. Is this against the tos? Or can I freely share my code.

    I play ps4 and my forums account is attached to ps4. I can play pc. I have it already but It's a completely different account. Do I log in to my pc account, (if I can remember the password)? My pc account isn't attached to this forum account or the email in which I received the invite. How does this work? Do I log in with my ps4 information? I don't want to log in incorrectly and lose my invite code. @ZOS_GinaBruno ?

    If you want to test the base game content you can log into PTS with either account. If you want to test the Morrowind expansion, you need to use the account that got the invitation.

    So now I see a bunch of comments saying that we are not allowed to say we are testing. Which I am not because the code does not work. But there is a thread releasing part of the nda for sets and balance soo I don't see how it can be against nda if its already been partially lifted...

    @Fishoscandi (or anyone, really),

    From whence did you DL the PTS Client.

    I can't figure out where a link might be.

    TIA, xari.
