Early Enrollment was pushed back, the game is in Alpha currently. In another similar thread recently:
On Monday (barring delays) you will be able to play in the Alpha. Have fun!
The Alpha is scheduled to end on the 25th and Early Enrollment is scheduled to begin on the 25th. If you have Early Enrollment access (and it sounds like you do), you'll be able to play on the first day of Early Enrollment (if you want to).
You can verify your Enrollment status by logging in to gobliworks.com and clicking the account link (it's right below the Pathfinder Online logo and it's in the form "username account". You'll see your enrollment status on the information page.
There is no "beta". We should not have used that term in the Reward description but by the time we decided it was a mistake to have used that term it was too late to change the Reward text. Early Enrollment is not a "beta test" in the classic sense. It is instead "early access". The game will be a "minimum viable product" - a complete, playable game that has all the basic features required to play. It will however be the first iteration of those features and some non-essential features are still being developed. You, and the other Early Enrollees will have a chance to help us create Pathfinder Online through our Crowdforging intiatives.
If you don't want to play the game at this time you do not have to begin using the game time you received from the Kickstarter and can wait as long as you wish before you do use that time. The game will continuously iterate and become more complex as time progresses.

It might have something to do with this, too:
The Alpha Stress Test
Following this update we are going to open the game (but NOT the forums - see below) to all players that have Open, Explorer, Early and Alpha access (and of course all the people who have received Alpha invites will continue to have access). Our plan is to open the system to these new players on Monday September 22nd.
We need to test the system under the kinds of loads that we'll experience when Early Enrollment begins, but we also want to avoid a situation where 7,000+ people all try to log in at the same moment.
We will send an email via our MailChimp mailing system with details on how to access the Alpha Stress Test to all Open, Explorer and Early Enrollment accounts when the server has been updated and those accounts are able to log in. These emails come from customer.support@goblinworks.com so please make sure that address is whitelisted in your email system.
To manage load on the server we may stage your access to the system. Just because your friend has access does not mean that you have access simultaneously. Our invite process will likely be randomized and we expect to be able to get everyone access to the game within a window of a few hours. So we're asking everyone to please be patient.
Until you receive that email, you may not be able to access the download or the game itself so in the interest of keeping our customer support email clear for users having actual problems and the forums clear of threads about this timing, please wait until after you have received the email telling you your access has been activated before you start asking for help in getting access to the game. The day after we have announced access for all account holders as being live would be the first day you should start looking for assistance.
You can check your Enrollment status by logging on to goblinworks.com and clicking the account link which appears directly below the Pathfinder Online logo (the link is in the form "username Account"). Your enrollment status will appear on the account page or you will see a notice saying that you do not have an active enrollment.
Open, Explorer, and Early Enrollment access can be purchased in the goblinworks.com/shop.
I suggest checking your inbox (and your spam folder) for an email from Goblinworks.

Friends and family enrollment means you have access to the alpha, but are not an alpha backer.

They are staggering the invites over a few days. If you are listed as Friends and family, It's possible you have alpha access already. Have you seen if you can get to the downloader?
I see a blue button with "Get Installer Here!"
I also see:
Prepare Your System
Windows
so nothing I can do justnow.

"Nothing" because you're a Mac user? If so, here's the thread if you'd like to add your name to the folks willing to put forward their names for the Mac client.

Here's what that screen should contain:
Preparing To Play
Prepare Your System
Windows
Run the system software updater and install all recommended updates for your operating system.
Update Video DriversUpdate your video card drivers to the latest stable versions.
nVidia Owners: >> Download from nVidia here <<
AMD Owners: >> Download from AMD here <<
Update Security SoftwareBefore installing the game be sure your antivirus and malware defense software is updated to the most current version.
Check Available Storage SpaceEnsure you have enough free space on the storage volume where you are going to install the game. We recommend that you have 5 gigabytes of free space available before you start. That will provide enough free space to download the software and install it.
>> Accept the Terms of Service <<
Clicking on "Accept the Terms of Service" should take you to the next screen. If you're not able to see everything from "Run the system..." to the end of the page, then I'm not sure what's going on.
If you use a Mac, and you don't have any way to also run Windows (apparently something called BootCamp is a popular way to do this), then you may not be playing for quite some time. Goblinworks hasn't released a Mac client for PFO yet. I think they will eventually, but not yet.
