    You can get the keys and use them as long as you have an active partnership status, in this case your Legacy Silver Competency. You don't need to get the keys now, if you're maybe planning to use them in the future. 

    But like mentioned, beware of your current partner status. If it expires as of eg. May, you won't be able to active the keys anymore as of that date. So be sure to active the keys before your Legacy Silver status end date (as you would not be able to renew Legacy Competency anymore, as that program has be deprecated now).
