If both positions for CA keys are already taken the key may not register and will wait for a manual input. In rare cases CA key will register as a regular key. With my equipment I can change the status and position of the key, but I am pretty sure this cause will be lost at the dealer.
You cannot change the status of already registered key with autologic too. It has no authorisation to read or change the CAS eeprom. Autologic has had a great abilities a few years ago, but after many lawsuits and dropping many brands they dont do "backdoor access" anymore.

I bought my E70 about a month ago. It came with only one key. The new key I got from BMW did not work with comfort access. I WAS able to disable all keys not in my possession, activate the new key, and now both work with CA. I just did this with an Autologic, so I know this is possible. I don't know where you get your info on what you can and can not do with the Autologic. It gives you complete control over activating or deactivating each of the 10 key positions. The new key came up as No. 4, and my exiting key was No. 3. It was the same for my E53 and E39, but no CA there. It's always a good idea to deactivate any keys you no longer possess just for security purposes.
