(error = 7)" when activating a KeyShot license ## Getting the error "failed to parse the JWT response" when launching KeyShot. ### Issue After launching KeyShot and activating a KeyShot license, the following error below occurs: **Failed to parse the JWT response. (error = 7)Please check that your system date, time, and time zone are correct:** ![](https://support.keyshot.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3_amazonaws_comcdn_freshdesk_comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction60092918109originalOe-pVxua7IKBlquKwJrvjkS9vCJnq1W2MA.png) ### Environment Details - KeyShot - Any versions ### Cause The error that you are getting with JWT has to do with your time on your computer not matching up to the time on the server end. ### Solution 1 If you go to the bottom right-hand corner \> right-click the date and time and select to update the time, you can then sync it up to the internet time. If you notice that the internet time is showing your company name, then it might be syncing to a server on your network and you would need to ask your IT team to update the time as there can be an issue if the time falls behind even 1 minute. ### Solution 2 The JWT error is ultimately related to the time difference between our servers and the users computers. If they still receive the error, it means that the time is syncing with our server's time. The server is set to be on the internet time. Even if it is off by 1 minute, it will throw this error.  I would recommend trying the following: If you notice that the internet time is showing your company name, then it might be syncing to a server on your network and you would need to ask your IT team to update the time as there can be an issue if the time falls behind even 1 minute.  Another option would be to go to the 'Date & Time' settings and Turn off and back on the 'Set Time Automatically' option. ### Solution 3 Syncing the time manually: (*These instructions are for a Windows machine*) 1\. Right-click the date and time on the bottom right panel: 2\. Select 'Adjust date and time'. 3\. Turn off 'Set time automatically'. 4\. Select the 'change button'. 5\. Enter the exact time and date you see on your phone connected to the internet. ### Solution 4 Be sure to check if your Internet time is correct. Even if your local computer's time is correct, if the Internet time is wrong you can still get this error message. You can compare this against your cell phone's time or on sites like [https://www.timeanddate.com/](https://www.timeanddate.com/). If it is so much as a second off, it can trigger this issue. If you notice that the internet time is showing your company name, then it might be syncing to a server on your network and you would need to ask your IT team to update the time as there can be an issue if the time falls behind even 1 minute or less. If both solutions fail, please send a copy of the **cloud\_auth\_error** logs and your **KeyShot.log** file.   On **Mac OS**, they should be located in either: - /Users/\/Library/Application Support/Luxion/KeyShot - ~/Library/Application Support/Luxion/KeyShot **Windows** - %AllUsersProfile%\\Luxion\\KeyShot - C:\\ProgramData\\Luxion\\KeyShot - %LocalAppData%\\Luxion\\KeyShot - C:\\Users\\\\\AppData\\Local\\Luxion\\KeyShot - [Technical Support](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#main-content) - [KeyShot Studio](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#keyshot-studio) - [Network Rendering](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#network-rendering) - [KeyVR](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#keyvr) - [Plugins](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#plugins) - [How-To](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#how-to) - [KeyShot Hub](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#keyshot-hub) - [KeyShot Web](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#keyshot-web) - [License Support](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/license-support?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Node-Lock](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/license-support?hsLang=en#node-lock) - [Floating](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/license-support?hsLang=en#floating) - [Subscription](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/license-support?hsLang=en#subscription) - [FAQs](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General FAQs](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#general-faqs) - [Key VR](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#key-vr) - [KeyShot Studio FAQ's](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#keyshot-studio-faqs) - [KeyShot Web FAQ's](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#keyshot-web-faqs) - [KeyShot Network Rendering FAQ's](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#keyshot-network-rendering-faqs) - [KeyShot WebViewer](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#keyshot-webviewer) - [Announcements](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/announcements?hsLang=en) - [Learning Content](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/learning-content?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Webinars](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/learning-content?hsLang=en#webinars) - [Quick Tips](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/learning-content?hsLang=en#quick-tips) - [Downloads](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/downloads?hsLang=en) - [Best Practices](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/best-practices?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.keyshot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/keyshot-logo-blk-3d.png?width=63&height=24&name=keyshot-logo-blk-3d.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.keyshot.com/) keyshot.com Help Center Copyright © 2026, KeyShot
