Key not valid for use in specified state error message

I did the update for my iPhone and also tried to update iTunes. I kept getting an error message of "key not valid for use in specified state" error message. I thought that if I uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it, that it would be fine. I'm still getting the message and now I don't have iTunes. When my phone updated, I couldn't download anything/backup my phone to iTunes. Please help. Thank you in advance.

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.
For further problems installing iTunes see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

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
move to production server logged in as prodsrvr\admin; tests fine in bids.

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?

"key not valid for use in specified state" when installing itunes

I recently uninstalled an older version of itunes, and every time i try to install the newest version it wont work.
I just keep getting the message "key not valid for use in specified state". If you know what to do could you
please make it simple. also do not send me to apple's help section, it does not have ANY answers.
thanks.

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.
There is a link to 7-zip in the Install missing components section of the user tip Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates, but if you have the key not valid error the advice above should work, and there is no need to break down the setup file.

SQL Server Mgt Studio 2008 installation problem - Key not valid for use in specified state

I'm setting up SQL Server Management Studio 2008 on my laptop. It installed fine, but failed to import a regsrver file exported from another machine. This appears to have been due to the fact that I exported the file with usernames and passwords, although I must admit that's pretty darned inconvenient if it can't be done.
Nevertheless, I exported the file again without usernames and passwords, but the new install now won't let me even see servers, let alone import any new ones.
When I start Studio, it gives me the "Key not valid for use in specified state" error. When I 'continue', I'm delivered to a screen with the 'registered servers' pane crippled. It has no contents at all and no ability to add, select, import, export. Nothing there.
How do I rectify this?
The installation is on Windows 7 Home Premium.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Don,
Since this issue was still not resolved even after you reinstall SQL Server 2008, I think that this issue is probably related to some corrupted files or registry keys. Please refer to the following steps to see if you can resolve this issue:
1. Close your SSMS;
2. Go to the folder %appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\ and check if there is a Shell folder, if so, rename it to Shell-Copy;
3. Re-open your SSMS to see if the error persists.
Everytime SQL Server 2008 Management Studio starts, it will read information from this folder to retrieve and recover some data. If the information does not exists, it will recreate new ones. Please check if this helps.
Best regards,
Charles Wang

To add to Don's comment, if you are using a different account (for example, an SA account) to run SQL Server management studio then make sure to change the user profile name when you browse to "%appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\".
I know many of us developers have multiple accounts and I usually have my SA account have logon privileges on databases not my regular AD Account.
Other than that, the reason why this fails is because MS encrypted the regsrvr file on the source computer using the source computer's ID and is therefore unable to decrypt the file on the destination computer. To me that just doesn't make sense since the
whole idea of Export and import was to move this information across computers! And that's why this works when you import without username and passwords - no more encryption/decryption. Since we use integrated windows logon (trusted_connection=true) it works
great. For the few servers that we had SQL Logons I had to manually type them in and save. But all in all, pretty painless.

Site behind load balancer - Key not valid for use in specified state

Hi,
I have created a sharepoint application page to access an active end point on ADFS and establish a fedauth session. All works well in single server. But when the page runs behind load balancer with 2 servers, it fails with key not valid for use in specified
state exception. Stickiness is enabled on load balancer. verified that.
I had made few changes to config file in microsoft.identitymodel section to accomodate adfs custom login. This included removing securitytokenhandlers and issuertokenresolvers as well. Is this impacting the encryption/decryption in anyway?
Any pointers would help.
Reference point for my application page : http://blog.helloitsliam.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=76

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the error “Key not valid for use in specified state” when ADFS custom login.
In order to run in Windows Azure Web Sites a Web application which uses WIF for handling authentication, you must change the default cookie protection method (DPAPI, not available on Windows Azure Web Sites) to something that will work in a farmed environment
and with the IIS’ user profile load turned off.
1. If you are using the Identity and Access Tools for VS2012, just go to the Configuration tab and check the box “Enable Web farm ready cookies”.
2. If you want to do things by hand, add the following code snippet in your system.identitymodel/identityConfiguration element:
   <securityTokenHandlers>
     <add type="System.IdentityModel.Services.Tokens.MachineKeySessionSecurityTokenHandler,
             System.IdentityModel.Services, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
      <remove type="System.IdentityModel.Tokens.SessionSecurityTokenHandler,
            System.IdentityModel, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
    </securityTokenHandlers>
There is a similar case:

Issue installing ITunes : error key not valid for use in specified state

I then completly uninstalled iTunes and its components in the order advised, rebooted my system, ran the latest ITunes setup and still get the message " key not valid for use in specified state".
I have checked all the directories to ensure no remnants.
Any one got an answer to this issue as I no longer have access to ITunes. I have a Laptop running Windows Vista Business

It seems we may have a more targeted solution. Based on posts in the thread key not valid for use in specified state I've just added the following to the user tip.
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 trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.

Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:

Tried updating to 11.4 Itunes and it says "key not valid for use in specified state"

when I tried to update ITunes to 11.4 I get an error message saying " key not valid for use in specified state" I tried uninstalling iTunes and downloading the new version but it still won't download. I also tried syncing my Iphone 6 and it wouldn't let me until I updated to 11.4 which brings me back to my problem???

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

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"

Hi. Muse update to 2014.1 will not install, so I uninstalled Muse 2014 and tried again and again, no luck. However, I just updated InDesign and Premiere Pro successfully.
Thank you for any tips.
Error log is as follows:
"Payload: Muse CC (2014.1) 2014.1.0.375 Muse_2014_1_CC_LS24.msi_2014.1.0.375 -----------
ERROR: Key not valid for use in specified state.
ERROR: Install MSI payload failed with error: 1603 - Fatal error during installation.
MSI Error message: Key not valid for use in specified state.
ERROR: Third party payload installer Muse_2014_1_CC_LS24.msi failed with exit code: 1603

I solved the problem by restarting the computer and logging in to an administrator account. Then I was able to install Muse 2014.1
Perhaps, if this makes any sense technically, one part of the install process touched a nerve with a component in the process that required admin privileges that my day-to-day account was denying?
I hope it helps others - and I see there are a few having this problem.
Again, many thanks for your support, kglad.
