Invalid key when reconnecting

I have the BEFW11S4 wireless router (v4) with firmware version 1.50.10.
When I try to connect my laptop wirelessly, it works....but when I disconnect and reconnect, it says "Invalid key". If I change the encryption key, it again works for one connection, but after disconnecting and reconnecting--Invalid key.
I am using WPA (TKIP).
Thanks in advance for your help!

I actually did try that...When I got my laptop, I upgraded the router's firmware to the most current edition (1.52.02) to get WPA encryption. However, my router would drop it's internet connection whenever I streamed video. After reading a message board about the same exact issue (http://hardware.mcse.ms/archive80-2005-12-267981.html), I set my firmware to the newest older edition I could find (1.50.10).
Thanks for your advice, but do you have another idea?

  • Invalid Key when entering Product Key

    I purchased the Windows Embedded Compact 7. When installing, I am prompted to enter the Product Key. It keeps saying it is an invalid key. I purchased it from AVNET.
    I can't even get any support from Microsoft support without a valid Product number.
    What is my next step?
    Thanks!
    John W,

    You are probably using the Lightroom Creative Cloud trial version. The Perpetual License key will not activate it. Uninstall Lightroom, this process will not interfere with your Catalog , preferences or personal files. Download Lightroom from the link below and run the install, insert the License key and all will be fine.

  • 'invalid Key Sequence' error when doing a lookup_ext on a Persistent DS

    I have a pesistent data store that I populate with a query transform.
    After the DF is finished, I call a script to do the Lookup_ext on the DS that sets a global variable.
    I am getting the error:
    70806 <persistent cache table <Temp_3> is being read with an invalid key sequence>
    Any information out there on this problem would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Mike

    I can reproduce this erro, but need to check if its a bug or not
    for the workaround
    - check if the Persistent cache table that you are creating has key defined for it
    - In the lookup call in script, you should use the same key columns in the Condition and in same order
    Pass the Compare value through Varaibles instead of Constants
    for exmple :-
    #declare a global varaible to store the value to compare
    $G_EMP_NO = 7788;
    lookup_ext([PersistentCache..EMP_DATA,'PRE_LOAD_CACHE','MAX'], [EMPNO],[NULL],[EMPNO,'=',$G_EMP_NO]);
    and see if it works for you

    Please help us to resolve the issue as early as possible.
    My contact number:
    If you need any further information do let me know

    Ajit,
      By design, the product is not able to be installed under the superuser account.
    1.  Create a new user and specify a home directory for the user without a quota set.
    2.  Copy or move the installation files to a directory that the new user can read.  I suggest you move the installation files directly into the new user's home directory.
    3.  Logon as the new user (or su - newuser)
    4.  run the installation shell script using that new user's account.
    NOTE:  Ensure the system meets the requirements from the supported platforms documents.

  • Invalid key length on hard drive. Can this be fixed?

    Hello,
    I have a question about an error I am receiving with a hard drive I have been using for a few months on an imac G3 (the slot loading version). I bought this used 80 GIG hard drive on ebay for a friend of mine and I helped him transfer all his data from his older 9 GIG drive to this newer 80 GIG drive that I bought for him on ebay. I simply cloned the 9 GIG drive onto the new drive using Carbon Copy Cloner. There is not a lot of data on the drive - only about 3 GIGs of data.
    The drive is the only drive in the computer (an imac G3) and therefore it is the startup drive. The operating system on the drive is OS9. All was working fine for a few months until just last week. Now I am receiving this following error:
    error message:
    The disk "Macintosh HD" appears to be damaged. Use a disk repair utility to repair the disk.
    And so I used the disk utility built into OS9 to see if I could repair the problem. (I think OS9's disk utility is called "Disk First Aid")
    When using OS9s disk utility (I think it is called "Disk First Aid") the following report is issued:
    Problem: Invalid key length, 4,943
    Test done. Problems were found but Disk First Aid cannot repair them.
    My questions are:
    What is an "Invalid key length"?
    How serious is this?
    What would cause this?
    Could this have been caused by the physical condition of the disk or possibly by the software on the disk?
    Would re-formatting the drive fix it? (Of course I would try to save any data first onto another disk)
    Or is it risky to continue to use this disk even after reformatting it?
    I guess I have a lot of questions here and if anyone could make any suggestions or comment on why "Invalid key length" errors happen I would really appreciate it. Thanks:)
    Here are some details:
    When I bought the 80 GIG hard drive from ebay the first steps I took were to format the drive using OS9's "drive setup", load the OS9 drivers and then I verifed the disk. The disk seemed to be fine. Then I cloned his old drive onto this 80 GIG drive using Corbon Copy Cloner. I was sure the 80 GIG drive was in a healthy state at that time and I trusted it enough to give it to my friend for his startup drive. Now that the drive has failed with his data and programs, I feel pretty bad. How could this "Invalid key length" error occur?
    Should I go back to the person who sold me the drive on ebay and ask for a refund? Or are "Invalid key length" errors a common occurance with hard drives that should just be accepted? Or might it possibly be the contents (data) on my friend's disk that caused this error.
    It has been suggested to me to use "Tech Tools Pro" or "Disk Warrior" to repair the disk. Hopefully that might repair the disk. Unfortunately these programs are too expensive for this purpose because they would cost more than the computer actually costs (its an old imac G3 computer). I found a service that would run Disk Warrior on the disk to repair it for a $50 fee. Still, that is also not worth it as the computer may not even be worth $50.
    Here are some specifications:
    80 GIG drive specs: SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.7 80GB hard drive
    computer: imac G3 (slot loading version)
    OS: Mac OS9
    Thank you for any suggestions especially as to whether I should attempt to return the hard drive or look for a refund for this hard drive or attempt to reformat the drive and try again (backing up the data first).
    I also question the source of all the data on my friends computer. If he had the original operating system disks (which he said didn't come with his computer when he purchased it second-hand), I could have easily re-installed the OS and the applications. But he doesn't have any disks. That serves me right for having to deal with trying to help out someone who has software from a questionable source. I'm never doing that again. I guess that makes me guilty too as an accomplice. I don't feel very good about this
    I didn't know for sure - but I guess I should have assumed his software was illegal if he didn't have the disks - I was afraid to ask. I'm never putting myself in this possibly illegal situation again. Never again will I try to help someone out who doesn't clearly have the legal disks. Please forgive me and everyone else who reads this post. I feel shameful about this but somehow I must get myself out of this problem. I've learned a good lesson. Should I attempt to fix his computer? Or should I tell him to first buy a legal OS and software before I can help him out? You see I feel further guilt because I was the one who gave him the 80 GIG problematic hard drive that failed and I feel I should have to fix it. Can anyone offer me a bit of advice? What do I do?
    What's the right thing to do?

    Thank you Jim and Apple2Freak,
    I appreciate your comments. I am now suggesting to my friend to buy a legal OS and if that is the case I am suggesting to him to move to OSX instead of OS9. Luckily he let me know there wasn't much data on that drive that he needed to save. I am still trying to determine if I could still use this hard drive with the keylength errors if I erase it or if the hard drive has permanent damage. I am hoping that I could install OSX on it and erase the hard drive to start again.
    This imac (slot loading version) can support up to OS 10.3.9 however I might consider Xpostfacto to try to run 10.4. But then I would need to buy 10.3.9 as well as 10.4 and that would double my OS cost. I think I might just look for OS 10.3.9 only. Its not worth it for me to buy two OSes for it.
    Jim, your post was very interesting because it also pointed out that it could be an issue of bad RAM. A few months ago we installed some new second-hand RAM and I wonder if that is the cause of all these problems. I will have to check that first.
    Thanks again!

  • Usermod - Invalid Key error

    I am trying to install Oracle 10gR2 on my Solaris zone. It says that I need the oracle user to have a projid=100 (group.dba).
    I created group.dba in /etc/project using the projadd command. Here is the entry:

  • Invalid key code and multiple installs

    OK, so I got a new iMac and tried to install vista on it like I had on my old iMac (2006 Model). However, when I finished the installation it started a new installation and it ended up installing vista twice. It would have done and third install, but I held down the option key during install and manually selected the windows partition instead of the Windows install CD. However, not all of the Windows features were installed like Aero so I deleted the windows partition. My iChat buddies list got deleted so I had to delete my iChat preferences (don't know if this will help).
    Anyway I tried to re-install Vista this morning and it said my key code was invalid, although it worked yesterday. What is the problem? This is the second invalid key code problem I've had on this Mac (the first was with Logic).
    Oh also, there seems to be some remnants of Vista on the computer even after I deleted the partition because unless I held down option/alt during boot up it would try to run windows and would say no boot disc.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Can anybody help with this?
    I tried reinstalling it and it slowed down my boot up speed because it didn't install right and I had to delete the partition once again.
    The keycode issue has been resolved though for some reason...

  • [SOLVED] [udev] invalid key/value pair in custom rule

    Hey,
    this simple rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-backup.rules, which is used to automatically mount my encrypted backup disk when plugging in run a backup script after the backup disk has been mounted, is said to be invalid:
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0470", ATTRS{serial}=="2080000048FD", ACTION=="add", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}=="secbackup.service"
    (The service file will mount the volume and start the backup script; mounting is done via udiskie.)
    The following error pops up when booting the system:
    systemd-udevd[225]: invalid key/value pair in file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-backup.rules on line 1,starting at character 131 (':')
    I don't see any colon (':') in my rule and the last closing quotation mark (") is the 130th character in this file...
    This worked well before; I don't know when the error started to pop up. I use systemd 213-9.
    Any hints?

  • Adobe 9 Std from Dell invalid key

    Install goes through fine with the provided key on the CD pack.
    Then we get an invalid serial key when opening the application.
    Adobe has given me 2 different serial numbers and both do the same thing. We've uninstall/reinstalled multiple times.  deleted the *.db files.
    The error we get is:
    Title: Excuse the interruption, but...
    Message: Our records indicate the serial number used to set up this software is invalid.
    <serial number here>
    Anyone that had a similar problem that was able to resolve it?
    We have 2 users with the same issue.
    We clone a system using Ghost.  Before the clone we remove the DB files for adobe to require it to ask for a serial number when it's started on the new computer. Then we make our clone master file.  When it's pushed down to the new PC, when windows starts up for the first time, it runs newsid from microsoft.
    We've done this to about 30 PCs so far and 2 are having issues with Adobe 9 Std.
    Thanks!

    To expand on what Jeff said, some companies provide OEM versions of software that are only licensed for use with the machine thay come with. The hardware manufacturer will sometimes provide the software in a form that will only only you to restore the software the machine it originally came from. If Dell did not provide you with a separate installer and serial number you may not be able to install it on your new computer. You can contact Dell to see if they can provide you with a separate Acrobat 9 Installer and serial number for use with your new machine.

  • MBAM 2.5 - SelfService Portal Not Working - Invalid Key ID

    Really odd issue I've run into here guys. Any help is greatly appreciated as this issue is holding my client back from releasing MBAM BitLocker management to his company. 
    We've setup a two-server MBAM solution. IIS sites are hosted on a server on the domain and the SQL database on another. Clients are deployed to the pilot group, GPO's are configured and deployed, machines are encrypting, the database is filling with Recovery
    Key ID's and Recovery Keys. The issue we have here is when a user needs to perform a recovery on his/her drive, the SelfService site is never able to issue a Recovery Key. Each time a user enters the 8 characters from the Recovery Key ID, it returns with
    Invalid Key ID.
    However, if you enter the same key into the HelpDesk portal, a key is returned. 
    I've checked the database, and the Key ID and the accompanying Recovery Key match. Within the reports for this machine, the user attempting to perform the recovery is listed as a user on the device. This seems to be a pattern for any systems managed with
    BitLocker, so I'm thinking there's a bigger issue. We've went over the SelfService web.config file with a fine-comb and compared it to a working SelfService portal (different domain, different implementation) and have been unable to find anything that stands
    out as being an issue.
    Aside from some kind of obscure configuration, I'm thinking this might be access-related, but I've been unable to prove or disprove this theory. Any assistance on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as I've mentioned, this is preventing my client from
    rolling this implementation out to his company because without giving the ability to users to perform recoveries on their own systems, there's no real benefit to having MBAM to manage BitLocker. 
    Michael B Courville

    ok... I found a post:
    I believe this will resolve the issue. I do recall now (i'm at home) that i was using my machine which the user has never logged into but is requesting the password for. I will test this theory tomorrow. good luck!!
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2870853?wa=wsignin1.0
    In MBAM 2.0, the Recovery Key ID is only shown to the user, if the user who is requesting the key has logged on to the machine at least once. Also, in MBAM 2.0, SQL database maintains the list of logon user after MBAM 2.0 agent is installed and always verifies
    if the user has logged in to the machine or not.
    For Example:
    User A logins to Computer A.
    Computer A asks for BitLocker Recovery Key due to some changes done on the machine.
    User A goes to Computer B and logins to Windows.
    Open MBAM 2.0 Self Service Portal, http://mbamserver/selfservice
    Enters the first 8 digits of recovery key id and MBAM 2.0 SSP page will show him the recovery key.
    Let's say if user A never logged in to computer A, then we will not show him the key and will throw the above message.
    Raymond Peng
    Raymond, I realize this. The user(s) that are attempting to get recovery keys are listed as users on the machines. Regardless of that fact, any user(s) assigned to any machine(s) are not able to get a recovery key from the SSP. My client and I are planning
    to dig more into the security aspect of this. It's odd that since I've posted this question, I've seen two or three people show up and now have this issue as well. There must be some commonality here. We're going to make sure that the users are in the DB-ReadOnly
    group and maybe even overshoot the access they need - like giving them Full Admin rights just to see if that fixes the issue.

  • Sparseimage Fails Verification with Invalid Key Length error.

    I recently have been having some trouble with my computer. Every time I log out of my account, all of my preferences reset. This just now started happening. It was working fine, then all of a sudden it started to do this. This only happens on my account and doesnt with the root account. On looking up solutions, I discovered that I should verify my home directory image. I logged in as a different user (root) and used disk utility to verify it. However it failed saying "invalid key length" and "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit". When I try to repair it, it gives me the same error. I backed up my system using superduper to an external drive a while back and verified the sparseimage file that I backed up. It failed with the same error.
    When I verify my harddrive it passes with no problem. Only my sparseimage file is corrupted. I would try diskwarrior but I cant afford it right now.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   100gb hd; 1gb ram; Triple-Boot(OSX-Linux-Vista)

    Would that mean that I can't turn off filevault? Way I see it is that since the image file is corrupted, I would try to have filevault unencrypt it and see if it somehow fixes it. (Since there will be no longer a filevaut image to be corrupted). All of my data in the image file seems to be fine. Everything is still there and I can access everything.
    I was also thinking that I might be able to just copy everything in the image to my external, then deleting the account and create a new one, coping everything back over when im done.
    I know I probably sound like a noob, but im really not. Ive had a lot of experience with my computer, just not this sorta thing. Thanks for your help.

  • Invalid key length - options

    A couple months ago I had issues installing Lion on my MBP. Upon installing, I was not able to mount the hard drive because of multiple errors. Disk repair eventually worked, I used my Time Machine backup to restore, and got Lion installed. After the installation, I went to make another TM backup and my external hard drive was corrupted to the point where I had to wipe everything on it - not sure what happened with it. Because I had so much trouble getting Lion installed, I didn't mess with creating a new TM backup and wanted to wait until I wasn't so busy at work to attempt it. I did however create a bootable Lion USB drive for emergencies.
    Long story short, the MBP froze the other day and would not boot properly. Clearing the PRAM/VRAM did not help, and when I try disk utility with the bootable USB drive, it is able to verify the drive itself, but unable to mount the startup volume. When I try to verify that volume, it stops and says to repair it. When I try to repair it, it stops and tells me the volume cannot be repaired and I need to back up my files.
    However, when I go into single user mode (running fsck gives me an invalid key length error), I can see the file structure of the drive, and all of my files in read only mode. My questions is, are those files recoverable? If so, how?
    Many thanks for an thoughts

    You have a failing internal hard drive, or some other hardware fault in the mass-storage subsystem. You must replace the drive, or otherwise determine the cause of the fault, immediately. But first you need to back up your data, if it's still possible.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from your recovery partition (10.7 or later), a local Time Machine backup volume (10.7.2 or later), or your installation disc (10.6.8 or earlier.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    How to back up and restore your files
    2. If you have a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive.

    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • Invalid Key Length  Volume check failure

    I have a G4 with 768 Mb of Ram and originally ran as a dual boot system with OS9.2.2 and OSX 10.2. I attempted to upgrade to Tiger. The install kicked out twice. I then re-formatted the hard drive and installed again. I have tried running Disk First Aid, re-booting on Tiger CD, and it gives me an error message.
    Invalid Key Length
    Volume Check Failed
    ERROR: The underlying task reported failure on exit.
    1 HFS volume checked
    1 volume could not be repaired because of an error.
    HELP!!!
    Tried booting on a Norton Utilities disk but it repeatedly also locked on an error.
    Erased disk and attempted again, still no good.
    Finally went back to OS10.2.8 and am up but with still the same error if I run Disk First Aid.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Norton Utilities is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.2, and will actually cause these Invalid Keylength issues. They stopped supporting Mac OS X nearly two years ago, and even when they did it was Russian Roulette using their software.
    Remove it.
    The first utility software you should always use is a backup utility. Other utilities can supplement backups but should never be used instead of having a backup:

    If erasing your hard drive and not installing any third party software upgrading back to 10.2.8 and not having any third party devices connected yielded an invalid keylength, either your 10.2 installation disk is damaged, or is the wrong 10.2 installation disk to use, or the hard drive or its connectors are bad. Try to determine which it is by process of elimination.
