How to program a Ford Fiesta key (2014)?

I have bought a second key for a Ford fiesta studio from 2014. The car doesn’t have remote central locking so as a result there are no buttons on the key. How would I programme this to the car as the manual states to turn the key in the ignition 8 times and then press the lock or unlock button but I don’t have one of these. Is there a way to programme a key that doesn’t support remote locking as the car says the ‘key isn’t recognised’ when I put it in the ignition 

 

Thanks

    The ign on off button pressing is only for programming the remote button part of key. Not the starting of car / passive anti theft. The key needs programming either by ford using there diagnostic equipment or using a locksmith to clone your existing working key.
