Key not valid and error code 1603

For over a week now, SKYPE software dissapeared from my computer. I thought I needed to upgrade & have tried more than twenty times. I paid SKYPE credit to update that twice & it finally gave me an email confirmation. However, every time I try to download or upgrade any SKYPE software, it goes through the process then gives me an eror message: "Key not valid for use in specified state" & error code 1603. I do not know what else to do. I receive one email from SKYPE community & I followed that info, but again to no avail. Please help. I need to talk to my children in Canada. Thank you

Try this:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Lastest-version-of-Skype-won-t-install/m-p/3638...
If this will not help then try to uninstall this Windows Security update KB2918614.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-7
After uninstalling this update try again to install Skype.
Alternative you can install/update Skype using this Lessmsi method:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Impossible-to-install-v6-13-0-104-Error-1603/m-...
Be aware that if you want to install the currently latest 6.20.0.104 version, then you should use the SkypeSetup_6.20.0.104.msi file in order to extract the Skype.exe and Login.cab files.
The SkypeSetup_6.20.0.104.msi file can be downloaded using this link:

Fatal Error During Solution Center Install - "Key Not Valid for Specified State"

I have encountered an error while trying to install HP Solution Center for my J6480 All-In-One. The software I'm installing is "OJJ6400_Full_10.exe"
I can get past the installation option selections (i.e., the screens that allow selection of which components you want installed) as well the online check for updates to the software. However, shortly after that I get a fatal error the full text of which are:
Error Situation Code: 23551631
The following lines were retrieved from the installation error logs.

Hey @redleader74,
At this time I am going to have you unlock the hidden System Administrator Account and attempt an install under there. Ideally, if everything installs fine you should be able to log back into your normal User Account and the complete software and driver package for your HP Officejet J6480 All-in-One Printer will be installed and functional. Can I please have you follow the steps below.
Step 1: Uninstall Drivers:
Click on your Start menu
Select All Programs
Select the HP folder
Select your HP Officejet
Select Uninstall
Please follow any onscreen prompts to complete the uninstall. Once the uninstall is complete please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Clear Temp Files:
Click on your Start menu
In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start after you click on it, type %temp% and hit enter on your keyboard
When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard. Everything in this folder will now highlight.
Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files. Should a Temp file still be used than you will automatically get the pop up to 'skip' that item.
Close the Temp folder once it is emptied
Right click the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling Bin
Step 3: Unlock System Administrator Account:
Click on your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD
CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'
Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter
Next, close CMD and restart your computer
When your computer comes on log into the new Account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator Account we just unlocked
Step 4: Install Device:
Under the Administrator Account please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer.
Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left
Once the download is complete please follow the onscreen instructions to install your printer
Once the installation is complete, please test the functions of your HP Officejet to ensure that everything is functioning properly now. If everything installs fine, log out of the Administrator Account and back into your normal User Account. All the Software and Drivers for your product should show installed now on your Account. Once you're logged into your User Account please test your HP Officejet again to verify that your print and scan functions are still working.
If everything works fine, you will want to Hide the Administrator Account.
Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD
CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'
Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:no and hit enter
Next, close CMD and restart your computer
Please let me know if these steps resolve your issue. Good luck!

Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state

we have developed packages to do the followings
Extract data from DB2 Source and put it in MS Sql Server 2008 database (Lets Say DatabaseA).From MS Sql Server 2008 (DatabaseA)
we will process the data and place it in another database MS Sql Server 2008 (DatabaseB)
We have created packages in BIDS..We created datasource connection in Datasource folder in BIDS..Which has DB2 Connection and both Ms Sql Server connection (Windows authentication-Let
say its pointing to the server -ServerA which has DatabaseA and DatabaseB).The datasource connections will be used in packages during development.
For deployment we have created Package Configuration which will have both DB2 Connection and MS SqlServer connection in the config
We deployed the packages in different MS SqlServer by changing the connectionstring in the config for DB2 and MS SqlServer...
While runing the package we are getting the following error message

Hi Surendiran,
This is because the package has been created by somebody else and the package is being deployed under sombody else's account. e.g. If you are the creator then the package is encryption set according to your account and the package setup in SQL server is
under a different user account.
This happens because the package protection level is set to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey which encrypts
sensitive information using creator's account name.
As a solution:
Either you have to set up the package in SQL server under your account (which some infrastructures do not allow).
OR
Set the package property Protection Level to "DontSaveSensitive" and add a configuration file
to the package and set the initial values for all the variables and all the connection manager in that configuration file (which might be tedious of-course).
OR
The third options (which I like do) is to open the package file and delete the password encryption entries from the package. Do note that this is not supported by designer and every time you make changes to the connection managers these encryption entries come
back.
Hope this helps.

Install error- key not valid for use in specified state

after downloading and starting installation I keep getting the error "key not valid for use in specified state"
I am using an administrator account and have selected to run the install application as an administrator.
What is causing this?

DontSaveSensitive; Key not valid for use in specified state error

I initially had my packages set to 'EncryptSensitivewithPassword' and usedthe config files. My job executes fine. But I noticed I was getting THE error "......Key not valid for use in specified state.....". So, I change the protection level
to 'DontSaveSensitive' , saved packaged ,build and re-imported it. And I still get the same result.
What am I doing wrong??   Package is on the same server where it was built.
I have a package in production that executes without the error. I made a change to the package (logging) in test and now it also encounters same error as the package referenced above.

created ssis package logged in as testsrvr\admin; tests fine.
      protection level - don't save sensitive
      use xml config files

Outlook 2013 - Password change breaks S/MIME Certs "An error occurred in the underlying security system. Key not valid for us in specified state."

AD password change comes up, user changes password.
Tries to send signed or encrypted email with a Comodo S/MIME certificate, and gets the following error:
""An error occurred in the underlying security system. Key not valid for us in specified state."
I now have two reports of this error - one on Windows 7, and one on Windows 8.0 (remote user).
The one on Windows 8.0, we tried removing their S/MIME cert from Outlook/Windows and re-adding, this did NOT resolve the issue.
Plan was originally to have the 8.0 user ship their machine in, and wipe it, since nothing else could fix it and I wasn't finding anyone else with the same issue. Now that I've got a second user with the same issue, its looking like a bug/issue and
not a random glitch.
Thanks in advance for any and all help with this!

ERROR: "key not valid for use in specified state" when updating to Lightroom 5.6 in Win8.1

While doing a routine update from Lightroom 5.5 to v5.6 in Win 8.1, the installation halted at the start of the installation with the vague error message, "key not valid for use in specified state". Although v5.5 was working just fine, the install routine deleted the v5.5 application files. I rolled back to the previous system restore point (set just prior to the install) and recovered the executable files. However, now the 5.5 files won't open the default catalog, none of the backups, or even create a new catalog.
As v5.x was purchased as an update to v4.x, I've tried to reinstall the original Lightroom v4.x app from the factory disk. I get the same error.
Suggestions?
Thanks. Dan

I have a similar problem to Dan. while doing a routine upgrade from Lightroom 5.5 to 5.6 I got the
: "key not valid for use in specified state"
error and now Lightroom has completely disappeared. I've tried to uninstall, but there is nothing to uninstall. Going back to try to install the original 5.4 just results in the same error.
A problem may have been that I closed Lightroom when the upgrade started to download. It then re-opened again when the install was halfway through., I assumed that was an error and closed it. just after that the error first appeared in the installer.
I still had an older version of lightroom 4 installed. I've uninstalled it, and that didn't make any difference.
I've also tried removing anything in the registry left over from the old installs and that didn't help either.
Any suggestions?
CHeers, Angus

HT201263 I purchased an 1gen 16GB Ipod from a seller. The ipod only shows the connect to itunes logo when connected to computer. The display shows without the word itunes. I got error codes 1603 and 1604 and have followed all the steps that were shown on

I purchased a 16gb ipod touch 1 gen and it wont restore or show the battery chaging icon. It shows the symbol of usb cable and what appears to be an itunes symbol without the itunes words being displayed. Upon trying to restore I have gotten error codes 1603 & 1604. I referred to the apple website for assistance and followed the steps to the letter with no results. So what else should I try or could I try because I have has no such luch thus far? I have held the home button and power button I tried to enter DFU mode but unsuccessful due to the screen boots with apple logo then immediately goes to the itunes screen and no further only when connected. Will not power on without usb connection have charged battery to see if it was the issue and no battery bar locator displays with or without being connected to PC.

So you did all this:
Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Reporting Service Integration mode and Key not valid for use in specified state

I had to uninstall SharePoint Foundation 2013 and reinstall it.
What I have done:
I uninstalled SharePoint and after that I removed all databases.
I reinstalled SharePoint Foundation 2013 and it completed without errors.
Everything else is working, except SSRS in Sharepoint Integrated Mode.
If I check Central Administration - Manage services on server, I can found out that SQL Server Reporting Service Service is
"Started". But if I try to create new service application (SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application), it gives me an error message:
"Key not valid for use in specified state. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8009000B)"
I uninstalled SSRS in Sharepoint Integrated Mode and I reinstalled it but problems exists.
It seems that "Encryption Keys" cause this problem.
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/955757
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156010%28v=sql.110%29.aspx
I tried to Re-create Encryption Keys and Delete keys, but its not working either. It gives me only error message that:
"Unable to locate the Reporting Server Windows service for instance MSSQLSERVER."
I don't have any reporting server databases, because I removed all
databases when I uninstalled SharePoint. Also I don't have Encryption
Keys backups.
I have found several similar question but no answer, example here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/df02dc05-5ce8-499d-9ba3-ab392a5fc3af/sharepoint-2013-ssrs-application-error-key-not-valid-for-use-in-specified-state-exception?forum=sharepointdevelopment
Any ideas how I can fix this problem?

Hi,
From the Reporting Server Configuration Manager you have to restore the encryption key.
Please try to delete databases(reportserver & reportservertempdb) and delete the reportserver and reports site on IIS. Then you have to start over the configuration again.
If the issue still exists, Please check ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log locates in
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS"

Upon install, error message says "key not valid in specified state?" How do I fix this?

The os I am using currently is windows vista. I attempted numerous updates only to have each one fail with the same message..."Key not valid in specified state." I tried full removal and reinstall only to get the same message. Any remedies?

For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

When my phone updated, I couldn't download anything/backup my phone to iTunes. Please help. Thank you in advance.
