Set up a google map in web config

Hi there,
I am using a google map for my ASP 2.0 application. I am able to see it fine in my machine but when I try in someody's else, it says to register the google API key. I have the key already but I don't think i have it in the right place. How should I set up the API key in the web.config file? Right now, I have it in the codebehind. Where in the web.config it goes.

are you using the development key or have you bought one for the server?

The dev key allows the google map to run on a single machine only, I had problems when I moved the code to a dev server so that I could try it out accross my network. I had to get another key registered for my server so I could use it with IIS6.0.
Are you running from the other machine or are you browsing to your machine to vie the page?

I am using the development key I guess. My server name is programmer3 and when I registered for the google API, this is what I used for the url..programmer3/foldername/...

When I run the website from my machine, I see the map just fine. But when I use somebody's else and type in programmer3/....to view the site, then I get this error message.

The google Maps API key used on this web site was registered for a different web site. You can generate a new key for this web site at code.google.com/apis/maps

Do I have to buy it?
