Great question, ive only used the digital copy disk once about a week ago with the serial number that will be provided, i used with mediaplayer transfer tools, the answer to ur question, the terms reads as fallows: "the code that permits transfer pf digital copy may not be valid after april 14th 2011". I hope this answer youre question, and like ive said i have never used a code to transfer a digital copy using mediaplayer transfer tools, thanks for your question.
