Two codes are needed to program a replacement key fob. One is for the fob itself and the other is for the car. The fob code comes on a tag with a new unit. The car code may be found under the driver's seat (I'm not 100% sure about this) or a Porsche dealer can provide it. The dealer just needs the Vin to get the code. They may be resistant to giving it out, but keep pushing to get it. I've had several fobs programmed in the past at an independent shop which used an Autologic computer to do the job. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes per fob.
