This erros is showing up because Google Maps V3 no longer supports keyless access so you need to get a key for every (referrer-)domain which has never had a Google Map on it before. You can generate new API key or used one you arleady created.
How to generate my Api key?
To generate Api key you just need to click GET A KEY and follow this steps.
Alternatively, follow these steps to get an API key:

In the Google API Console, you can also look up an existing key or view a list of enabled APIs.
