"Current active key expired" Error

A client was getting an "Invalid Action" error when trying to open their Microsoft CRM 4.0 (on-premise) application.

Checking the event log, showed the following:

Event Type: ErrorEvent
Source: MSCRMKeyGeneratorEvent
Category: NoneEvent
...
Description: Current active key (KeyType : CrmWRPCTokenKey) is expired. This can indicate that a key is not being regenerated properly.

Starting the Microsoft CRM Asynchronous Processing Service on the server solved the problem!

After updating my message with the correct namespace, all worked fine again.

You just need to know how to 'enable' the feature. So here we go: - Export the data you like to update to Excel (go to the grid or create an advanced find, select the records you want, click 'Export to Excel' and choose static worksheet). - In the Excel file, add a column to the left with the name of the entity as column name. In this column, add the Guids that correspond to the records. - Update some values and save the excel as a CSV. - In CRM, go to Settings -> Data Management -> Imports and create a new import record. - Select the CSV you ...
