Hi @antarab ,
Can you please validate if you still have the valid API key, or validate the following steps that to generate the API key, and let us know?

1. Log in to your enterprise account on the NGC website [http://ngc.nvidia.com.](http://ngc.nvidia.com/)
2. Click Setup from the side menu, then click API Key from the Setup page.
3. On the API Key page, click Generate API Key.
4. In response to the warning that your old API Key will become invalid, click CONTINUE to generate the key.
Your API key is displayed with examples of how to use it.

Thanks!

Hi @ AakankshaS
Antara and myself have tried generating new keys couple of times but same error is coming.
Is there direct way to check if key is valid or not ?

Hi @ydangi , @antarab ,
Can you please check on the below points

  • Configure your CLI to use your API key with the ngc config set command.
  • Also check if docker key is update “sudo docker login nvcr.io” here as well. Please refer below section

https://docs.nvidia.com/ngc/ngc-private-registry-user-guide/index.html#accessing-ngc-registry

Please let us know if this resolves the issue?

Thanks!

Above the steps, I am not sure where exactly is it failing? docker login nvcr.io SUCCEEDS.
can this be issue with the machine?

Do you have an NGC_API_KEY variable set in your environment that is possibly invalid? If yes, that takes precedence over the key pulled from the NGC configuration file. The command that is failing is echo $NGC_API_KEY | docker login -u '$oauthtoken' --password-stdin nvcr.io

where $NGC_API_KEY either comes from your environment or is loaded from the ngc configuration file.
