Assuming you are serious about this, log into SWTOR's website. Click My Account. On the left there are a bunch of big shiny buttons. One says Pre-Order code which is worthless at this point. Then there is security questions, security key, etc. Then there is a big shiny button that says Product Key or something similar. Just like every other online game ever, you put in the retail code found inside your game case there. Download the game from the link in My Account or at swtor.com/download. Then log in just like WoW.
