Use Mapsource on 1 computer with multiple Nuvi's?

So I have multiple Garmin Nuvi units, but only one laptop. I installed Mapsource on it. I want to update the maps on each unit and have unlock keys for each unit. Do you simply add multiple unlock codes and it will automatically determine the appropriate unlock key needed for the specific unit? Or do I need to delete one key before adding another?
Thanks.

Yes, but you update the preloaded maps on the nuvi by running the update program, not from MapSource.
Just re-run the update program with each nuvi attached to the computer and enter the appropriate code for each when prompted.
Run the map update twice
As MM said, just run the map update twice; once with each Nuvi attached. I did this with a 350 and a 760, each with their own update DVD and unlock code. No problem, other than being a little tedious.
You can add the unlock codes to mapsource but

To correctly install the update maps to your unit you have to install the maps from the disk... With other supplemental maps you can just add the unlock code using the unlock utility found in utilities of MapSource.
