What do I need to do to convert my Time Code into a Pilot License Extension?

Get a game time code

To convert a time code into a PLEX, you must first procure a game time code.  Game time codes are available through two venues: the EVE-Online official store and various online vendors.

Prepaid gamecards (shown above) are bought through the EVE-Online official store.  These are physical cards that are sent to the user through regular “snail” mail.  These gamecards contain a game time code that can be used to create a PLEX.  The EVE-Online store can be found here.

Game time codes are also sold through various online vendors.  In that case the game time code is e-mailed to you directly after purchase.  A list of official vendors can be found here.

More information about game time codes and prepaid game time cards can be found here.

Log into EVE and select a character

When you have obtained the game time code, you must log in to your account to convert the code into a PLEX.

Select the character you wish to receive the PLEX/es and wait for the screen to load.  If the character is not docked in a station, then dock and open the game menu by pressing the “ESC” button.

Convert the ETC into a PLEX

Press the “Convert ETC” button which is located in the bottom left corner of the game menu window.   A window will open where you can enter the game time code (shown below).

A notification will be displayed about the action you are about to perform asking to confirm the conversion by clicking on the “Yes” button.

Type in or paste the game time code and press “OK”.  A notification will be displayed informing you of the successful conversion of a game time code into a PLEX.

Exit the game menu and in your hangar you will find two PLEX/es, provided that you converted a 60 day time code (see below).

Note: The 60-day time code is the most common type of code but there are still some 30, 90 and 120 day codes in circulation.  One PLEX equals 30 days of game time, so creating a PLEX from a 90 day code will give you three PLEX/es.

Activate the PLEX

In order to use the PLEX to add subscription to your account, right click on the PLEX item while it is located in your personal hangar and select “Apply 30 day pilot’s license”.

The item will then disappear from the hangar floor and a notification about the 30 days being added will be shown to you.

Keep in mind that PLEX/es cannot be activated while located in corporate hangars or containers.

If you do not plan on using the PLEX/es yourself but to sell them for ISK, information on how to do that is available here.

If you have any problems or questions regarding the use of PLEXes, then please contact customer support through the petition system or direct e-mail: support@eve-online.com and we will assist you as soon as possible.
