Will I loose Star Trek Online Digital Deluxe Edition?

Hi!
I have purchased Star Trek Online Digital Deluxe Edition, but I have not registered it yet.
My question is about F2P. When F2P becomes live, I will technically loose the money I payed for it? Or will I get some extra compared to the newly registered people who play for free?

    Don't quote me on this, because according to a large section of the net I'm an idiot, but this is how I think that works:

    You sign up your account using the Registry Key provided, the credit goes to your account of having that. However, this is where it becomes gray in my mind, if you're only planning to be free-to-play, your account may not get the spiffy things till you actually subscribe. Though, you may still get them even being free to play as the key should still be valid and it connects with your account.

    My question to you however is, why would you go out and buy an expensive copy of the game, just to be free to play? You could have used that extra money to subscribe, and get a snazzy stipend to get all that stuff you would have gotten with the digital deluxe, plus more.

    Steam had a discount for Digital Deluxe, so I purchased it months ago, but I still didn't have time to register it.

    So I asked, that will the money I spent on purchase fly out the window when the game becomes free or people who actually purcahsed it before it became free, get any extra compared to the new players who only joined it after it became free?

    IIt is a nice thing that it becomes free, however it would be a huge fail if they didn't compensate the people who actually paid for it.

    ps: If I register it and use up the 1 month free suscription, will I be able to continue as a free player?

    You would have a gold account for the one month of subscription time that comes with the game. You will also recieve any bonus items in the digital edition.

    After the month you can continue as a silver player, however you account and charters will be converted to a silver matrix.

    I.E only 2 charter slots, limited invetory and bank slots. Limited B.Os. You're bonus items will still be yours though.
