Doubleclick the key. A
slider opens. There is a subkey button. Ctrl-click on the key and
and click "change expiration date" in the submenu (I have a german
version, so it may have another name) and change to a future
date.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p></div>ca-designtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/386348412016-01-09T16:59:38Z2016-01-09T16:59:38Zgpg: <<my key id>>: skipped: Unusable public key gpg: -&5: encryption failed: Unusable public key<div><p>Hi James,</p>

<p>I had exactly the error described by James and ca-design's
solution worked. I didn't even notice the subkey tab
previously...</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
