As far as I understand this is nearly impossible to do unless you specifically tell the car to 'forget' the key. There are actually 5 key memory slots, and as long as they aren't all already taken, it will assign to the new key to an empty one by default. Basically you're programming the key to recognise the car, and not the other way around!
*Don't take this as gospel, but I believe the above statement is correct!

Can you program other cars? Got a Nissan Pathfinder and Mitsubishi Lancer that both need new keys. Let me know if you can 
Might be worth posting up in the For Sale section that you can program new keys

Unfortunately I've only got the Opel/Vauxhall OP-COM software at the moment... sorry!

Just did this for my car, Never had 2 keys since I bought it in 2009, always worried me in case I lost or broke a key.
But thanks to this forum I now have 2 after buying
1. Ebay Key (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161341904844), £5.50
2. Ebay Op-Com hardware and software (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281984450631) £18.88
3. Local Keysmith cut it for £6
Worked liked a dream and now I have 2 keys
If anyone in Northern Ireland is stuck for the Op-Com bit I can help/lend the hardware and software!!
(There was a little faffing around to get the driver to install for Op-Com interface on anything above XP, but easy to do and worked fine, I can send the instructions if required, I installed on Windows 8.1)

A spare key cut and programmed!
Tip - the op-com drivers do not work on Windows 10. Win 8.1 and below should be fine.

I managed to get them to work on Windows 10, but the sequence of buttons that I had to type to do so was akin to a rocket launch!
