We just went through this in 2009. We were using a symmetrical algorithm. 
Moreover, it was they Kagi generic algorithm, so it's even open (except 
parameters).
And so we had a KeyGen released in the beginning in 2009 and I had to implement 
another algorithm. 
I used CocoaFob and also created an autoupdate procedure for existing users 
(the client connects to server, passes old key and receives a new one).
The server also sends an email to the customer with the new key upon the update.

It worked quite well, in general.
