Character transfer/recovery possible?

I got the standard edition of STO as a gift the day it came out. I played it, and really ended up liking it. I recently heard about the Gamestop collectors edition and the codes it came with and am interested in getting it, problem is though the codes are built into the cd key and not seperate. Here's the dilemma; I want to get it and install it, problem is though I don't want to lose the character I have now and all of their progress. Is it possible for me to transfer/recover the character onto a newly installed game with its new cd key?

    Simply log into your account and activate the new key on your account. Youw ill gain all the extra bonuses from the new copy and keep all your items/characters.

    You can just apply the new code to your existing account. Nothing is tied to the DVD, its all based on your account.

    Where can you apply a new code to your account? I've looked in the STO account options, and can't seem to find it. Is there a link to a Cryptic master account?

    So, if I do apply a new CD code to my account, I get all the features of the Digital Deluxe edition applied to my existing characters? Does my account gain two more character slots? (Since STO accounts start with two or so, and I'm adding a new key.)

    Thank you in advance.

    On the STO homepage is a big banner on the right hand side that states "Redeem your key!". It will locate you to this place.

    However, this thread is very much outdated and the OP does not contain information which is useable today. If you have more questions regarding this, please start a new thread.

    Thank you! :)
