Once the code is entered, your app will download if the code is valid.
Note: If you have received a promo code for an app that is not yet released, you can still redeem it before the release date.
Conditions

- Codes expire 28 days after creation. The code may have been created prior to when you receive it, so we advise redeeming at the earliest opportunity.
- You must adhere to all applicable terms and conditions.
