Can someone explain what these promo codes are for? If they are just scanned by iTunes wouldn't you need to register them somehow in order for them to be useful?

A developer can generate these promo codes for their app, so a potential customer or reviewer can get a free copy of the app.

But surely if you just printed off a random code it wouldn't let you download the app for free?
