Programming spare key?

I purchased my second 986 (1998 ocean blue/gray manual) about 2 years ago ffrom a guy in Las Vegas.

When I picked up the car, the seller gave me two keys, but told me only one worked; the other key he said had been chewed up by his dog and no longer would start the car (handshake with the immobilizer?).

While the key body was a little chewed up, the micro printed circuit board appeared undamaged and the little LED lights up when either the unlock or truck buttons are pushed.

I bought a new plastic key body and changed the battery, but it still doesn't work.

Any thoughts? Does it need re-programmed? Is there a process and/or kit to do it yoursel?
