I don't think you need two active cards. I personally created a key normally (actually the one that I had been using for months before I got the card), had backups and all that, and migrated the keys to the card. Alternately, it sounds like people are saying you are prompted to create a backup file if you try to create a key directly on a card, but I didn't do this so I can't confirm if/how that works. Either way, if you have a proper backup, you can restore the backup to disk normally, then move it onto a replacement key's hardware. -- Grant "I am gravely disappointed.
