Answer 1

Hi,

Check your system time. If your time is not accurate setting the key will fail.

I had the same issue than I syncronized the time on the server and it solved this problem.

Answer 2

Try to delete the config file "AgentConfigData.xml" from folder "Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Azure Data Sync\data", then regenerate the key from DSS portal, then see whether it is successful.
