Engine running when programming? - daikerjohn - 01-13-2025

Maybe a newbie question, but should the car/engine actually be running when connecting to the OBDII and, for example, programming keys?
The car was detected but then I had a 'gateway' issue (which is firewall, I think, so I'll fix that) but I wondered whether I can simply be in 'Ignition is On' state or full-on engine is running.
Does it matter?

Ignition on only. Do not program the car or the keys when engine is running.
