Please describe your issue or request:
The Ubuntu GPG package signing key is expired.
root@vroomfondel:~# gpg --show-keys ai-workbench-desktop-key.gpg
pub rsa3072 2024-12-12 [SC] [expired: 2025-12-12]
52ECDF6597CFBD86D5BF4DB3CD63F8B21266DE3C
uid svc-workbench <svc-workbench@nvidia.com>
I checked also the key mentioned in the official documentation for a newer version:
pointing to https://workbench.download.nvidia.com/stable/linux/gpgkey , but that’s the same as the one already installed (pre-installed with DGX Spark/ASUS Ascent GX10).
Couldn’t find anything in here or elsewhere that mentioned a way to update.

The fix did not work for me - it still says the key is invalid.

Could you run a check via gpg --show-keys?
root@vroomfondel:~# gpg --show-keys /usr/share/keyrings/ai-workbench-desktop-key.gpg
pub rsa3072 2024-12-12 [SC] [expires: 2027-12-13]
52ECDF6597CFBD86D5BF4DB3CD63F8B21266DE3C
uid svc-workbench <svc-workbench@nvidia.com>
And just to make sure that it is not some kind of CDN problem:
root@vroomfondel:/tmp# curl -o newkey -fsSL https://workbench.download.nvidia.com/stable/linux/gpgkey
root@vroomfondel:/tmp# gpg --show-keys newkey
pub rsa3072 2024-12-12 [SC] [expires: 2027-12-13]
52ECDF6597CFBD86D5BF4DB3CD63F8B21266DE3C
uid svc-workbench <svc-workbench@nvidia.com>
To check what you get from that URL?
I have the same key. It looks like the proper key is there, it just isn’t recognized as valid despite it having the 2027-12-13 expire date.

The linked forum post marked as the solution addresses the AI Workbench installation in DGX Spark and GB10 systems, which is configured slightly different.
If you installed the AI Workbench apt repo following the User Guide , you need to run a slightly different command:
curl -fsSL https://workbench.download.nvidia.com/stable/linux/gpgkey | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ai-workbench-desktop-key.asc
sudo apt update
