    Hi Gusti,

    welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

    Glad you were able to fix things already. Can you share what was wrong? Was your subkey expired?

    Are you frequently using OpenPGP or very seldom? Do you have GPG Keychain installed on your mac? If so, you should have seen an expiration warning which we show one month prior to expiration of your key. So it's odd you did not see that warning.

    All the best,
    Steve
