To answer your specific questions, contact your dealer, or email/write/call Ford directly;

Order the voucher from Tousley Ford, and then whenever you want it installed you should be able to take it to a Ford dealer, even years from now. Why the passage of time should affect a dealers ability to install an electronic update to the Boss ECU is beyond me. It makes no sense for Ford to shutdown the file servers that host the file(s) to download to the dealer performing the install.

The question is if I have it installed now and never use the red key will the powertrain warranty be reduced to 3/36 (as you say from the date the car entered service) or will the 5/60 remain in effect as long as the key is not used?
Is this a viable option to waiting until the 5/60 warranty expires to have the Track Key software installed?

Track Key does not void your warranty nor does it reduce it to 3/36.
If something powertrain related breaks during the first 5/60, and it has nothing to do with Track Key, Ford still covers your warranty.
If something powertrain related breaks during the first 3/36, and it is determined to be BECAUSE of Track Key, then Ford Racing rather than Ford covers your warranty, but there will be absolutely no difference to you.
It's only if something powertrain related breaks BECAUSE of Track Key after 3/36 and before 5/60 that there's any issue at all, and the likelihood of that happening is nil.

I was told (by Ford a year ago) the TK would reduce/void my 100K CPO warranty
.....CPO warranty was the main reason I bought the car from a Ford dealer
IDK, if that has changed...
