<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>Let's check if your key is ok:</p>
<ol>
<li>open GPG Keychain<br></li>
<li>double click your sec/pub key<br></li>
<li>search for "Validity" in <strong>key tab</strong> and post the value to your discussion<br></li>
<li>search for "Validity" in <strong>subkey tab</strong> and post the value to your discussion</li>
</ol>
<p>Should your key have expired, please re-new the expiration date in the key tab. To renew the subkey, click the cogwheel icon in the subkey tab and update the expiration date.</p>
<p>To test the change, send a signed and encrypted test email to yourself. Are you able to decrypt and verify the signature successfully?</p>
<p>In case your key resides on the public key servers, don't forget to upload your updated key, so that the changes are reflected there as well.</p>
<p>We have open tickets to address this problem. Ideally GPG Keychain and GPGMail would be more pro-active about expiring keys and inform users ahead of the expiry date and explain how by extending the expiry date the key can be used in the future.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
Steve</p></div>Steve
