Just found this on the square-enix support page.

So even if you were in previous tests of the game, you still need to apply for open beta!

Acquisition of Registration Code for the Open Beta Test

We have an important announcement to the testers who have participated in FINAL FANTASY XIV Closed Beta Test.

Between 19:00 and 19:50 (PDT) on Sep. 1, 2010, an incorrect notice saying "Participants of closed beta test do not need to obtain new registration code for the open beta test." was being made on FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test Application Site.





Participants of closed beta test also need to obtain and register dedicated registration code for the open beta test. Please follow the directions listed in the mail "Guide to the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test," which was sent to the participants of closed beta test on Aug. 31, 2010, and obtain the registration code from FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test Application Site.



We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Ahh the old obligatory "We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused"

That will smooth things over for the fervent closed beta folks.

I'm sure it won't do any good but I've just expressed my annoyance on the Square Enix Account Management system.  I'm sure many of the new Open Beta testers are struggling to download the game as Closed Beta testers did.   Were as there are earlier testers with their game fully updated and patched unable to do any testing because they haven't so far managed to obtain an Open Beta key.  Rather a wasted opportunity if you ask me.
