BBC Iplayer downloading question?

I’ve downloaded a show from BBC Iplayer, I want to keep it forever so I used to download option “Download to recordable device”, if I just keep it on my desktop computer or put it on a memory stick to transfer to my Laptop, will the programme be kept forever?

Here’s what it says on the website, I don’t fully understand it.

“Once download, the programme file will be on your computer.

Before you transfer the file to a portable device you will need to play the programme briefly to verify the viewing licence. Once you do this then the 7 day expiry countdown begins.

You can then transfer the file to your portable device.

Please note that if you do not intend to view the programme within the first 7 days of downloading, then do not play the content prior to transferring until a more suitable time. For most programmes you’ll have up to 30 days to verify the content from the date it is downloaded, although with some sports programmes this is reduced to 7 days. ”

Thank you
