No, they should give you the Imperial Edition key close to launch or the very 4/4. You have a 2 days grace period to enter the IE key to retain and fully unlock the benefits.
about the second key i know,
but is normal shows nothing on PURCHASED GAMES? because lot of people are saying about brown book like this img

No, only "early access" and "beta access" (because I got a beta key)
About the book, I have no idea if it's relevant or not maybe a random picture. The early access key does not have any hidden edition information. Supposedly.
I bought the digital IE and I have the brown book. I've seen other people saying they bought the digital IE and have the brown book too.
ok, I got Digital Imperial from GMG as well, and after prodding both them and the devs support emails a bit, I drug out of them this answer regarding being able to use the imperial bonuses in early access.
from GMG,
from ESO Support:
my account page shows the brown box not the red.
I am satisfied that I'll be able to do the imperial stuff from 0-hour.
=/
this is my questin, your account page shows the brown box, my account page shows nothing
well did you enter in the code GMG sent you? that should add to your purchased (yes brown) and add Early access
I verifiedX2 this with ZOS support, they know which Edition you have correct.
yes i was, and in my account shows 5 days early access in billing history
this brown book is not the beta? because i have other account where i`ve played the beta, and here shows the brown book (and say BETA)
Not sure whats so complicated about it.
I was pre ordering from gamestop {there access code is only 3days not 5).
So I canceled it. Pre Ordered the imperial edition yesterday from the official website.
I see the redbook, my account says early access.. I didn't enter any codes.
I think I got the brown book when it was just the beta access, not the early access... not sure it actually means a whole lot.
I think its a given that if you buy imperial from the official website, you show a red book.
I'd bet, that once you activate an Imperial Edition full key, you show a red book. ... but at the moment the only way to GET that, technically, is by buying it from the website directly which adds it to your account without any need for keys.
the complication is that for those who buy it from a third party site, theres seperate early access and full codes. it at some points, was not entirely clear about whether the early access simply let you in, or granted imperial edition benefits as well. ... as in, if you need the full code for the imperial benefits or not.
which, its been clarified, you don't.
Just not really understanding the appeal of going to a third party instead of the OFFICIAL alternative.
