There are conflicting reports. Some (maybe one or two) have claimed that they have had an old key reprogrammed but far more people have said it can't be done. Personally, I don't _think_ a previously programmed key can be reprogrammed. If you are willing to take the risk, you could certainly try. But there are enough Saab parts suppliers online that you could probably find a decent deal on a new fob.
Another thing to consider is the cost of programming the key. Many dealers charge a fee to do this, and it's usually not cheap. If it were me, I would look online to find a decent price (for a new key from a genuine Saab parts supplier) and see if your dealer would be willing to match (or come close) to the online price and throw in the programming for free.
