There are a few possibilities.

The most trivial is that your key may have expired.
Follow the instructions here (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/matr-forum/R1anCspxiHs) to check.

If you continue to have problems, the quickest ways to contact us are:

This was most likely an expired key--the API now generates this error for out-of-date keys.
