The activation key is tied into the serial number of the PIX (I assume the serial # is somehow related to the flash card) so using the key from one PIX will not work in another. I had to RMA a PIX 515 a few months ago and needed to send Cisco the new serial number and they sent me the new activation key later that day. The 56-bit key is free, though, from CCO, but you still need your serial number. Not sure what you would do in your case though, to be honest...
