I've had some of their games for years and regularly have to get new keys, and I've never had a problem with that procedure. Of course, you do need an Internet connexion to get a key.

i would be a bit wary of a scheme like that ; what happens if the company goes out of business ? then you can't get a new key and you can't play the game anymore ?
