<p>welcome to the GPGTools community support platform. Sorry you
are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>You updated your subkey, which was the correct thing to do. You
need to understand that this will not update public keys of yours
stored in other locations.</p>
<p>If you use the key servers, upload your updated key. Anybody
looking will find the updated version. And friends with an expired
version of your public key can update the key using the key
servers. If you use your public and or secret key in mailvelope the
same applies: you'd need to add your updated version of your
key.</p>
<p>Does that make any sense?</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>Yes, I uploaded the updated key to the server, and I uploaded it
to Mailvelope. It is still not working. The person cannot encrypt
to my key.</p>
<p>This is why I checked the key out in Mailvelope to see if
there's something there that I can't see in GPG. And this is what
was different - the subkey still appeared expired (this was after I
updated the key in Mailvelope), so I thought this was the reason
that the person cannot encrypt.</p>
<p>What else could it be?! :(</p>
<p>Frustrating.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Best,<br>

related to the question wether your contact is able to encrypt
using your public key or not.</p>
<p>I suggest you verify that your contact is using the correct
public key and also has updated your key from the key servers. This
is also a good chance you verify and sign each others keys: This
<a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/how-to/trusting-keys-and-why-this-signature-is-not-to-be-trusted">
KB-article</a> explains how to verify and sign a key.</p>
<p>Let me know if that worked.</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/406652692016-09-02T14:02:13Z2016-09-02T14:02:13ZGPG Keychain: Extended subkey shows as expired & encryption impossible<div><p>Thank you, Steve. I'll verify that the person is using the
updated key and suggest we try signing each other's keys. Will post
back if it worked.</p>
