Yes and no.  In theory it is simple to implement but a robust
implemention ins't so easy.  First keys must be sufficiently random that
they can't be guessed.  Second the network protocol must establish a
secure connection to send the key.  If those safeguards aren't
implemented, you could end up with a lot of annoyed legal customers
that can't access play your game because their key is in use.
