Abstract
A method and system of providing tokens to allow a multiple vehicle programmer to program vehicle transponder keys. A token server collects payment for the number of tokens purchased and creates a token update file. The token update file loads the purchased tokens into the multiple vehicle programmer. To program a vehicle transponder key the multiple vehicle programmer checks for an unused token, if available, the unused token authorizes the programming of the vehicle programmer key. The multiple vehicle programmer marks the token as used after successfully programming the transponder key.
