Well the key never gets programmed, it's a read-only chip.
However, the NATS system is no longer recognizing the key, for whatever reason. First thing I'd try is another key.
You can try to 'reset' the system, though. Turn the key to ON, wait 5 seconds, turn back off. Repeat that two or three times, see if it'll let you start it then.
If the NATS system doesn't detect the right key, and you try to start the car 5 or more times, it'll disable the engine from starting (even with the correct key). The reset procedure above fixes that.
And yes, the last S in NATS stands for 'system', so saying 'NATS system' is like saying 'ATM machine'...but whatever.
