Trading Virtual Game Cards Between Switch and Switch 2 on same account?

Question

I got my Switch 2 yesterday after having a Switch since 2019. I opted not to do a system transfer as I didn't have any save data on my Switch I felt really warranted a transfer, and I'll probably still use the console here and there. However, I did link my Nintendo account. Both consoles have the same Nintendo account.

When I downloaded MKW on my Switch 2, it said I needed to load the virtual game card on my Switch to my Switch 2. I did that, and it mentioned the 14 day eject limit. I've since registered the Switch 2 as my pass-enabled console.

It's probably been explained already, but I'm just trying to figure out the technicalities of this. Will I need to repeat the process of loading the MKW virtual game card (as with any other new games) onto my Switch 2 every 14 days? If I go abroad for over two weeks, will I have to take both devices? I don't know if this is me being completely stupid.
