If I buy Steam copy and I already have original, can I give the key to someone else?

Bit of a weird issue; I already bought FFXIV awhile back but have since quit and am now on a new computer. I'm curious to know, if I buy FFXIV + Heavensward on Steam (convenience of always being on Steam), would I get an extra account code that I could give to someone?

Or, is there a way to put your original FFXIV key(s) into Steam, and not through the "non-Steam Game" way?

No to both.

you can use your old account on the steam , i bought a new game to have it on steam , and just log in on my old account , but you cant "gift" the key on steam

never mess with ff14 steam. horror stories abound of people not being able to get expansions until post release instead of at release, basically a shit show due to how SE does thier business.

I have FFXIV through steam, and other than not realizing I had to purchase further content through Steam when I bought Heavensward (which SE quickly fixed for me), I haven't had a problem with it. I still got Heavensward on time for pre-order bonuses and early access, and I already have Stormblood CE pre-ordered through Steam.

I stand corrected then, I only remember a lot of people did have trouble with sorting out that they bought it on steam then couldnt get the expansion at first because they preordered non steam.
