FiveM Asset Escrow System

About the Escrow System

The Asset Escrow system allows FiveM creators to protect their scripts, maps and models. It also ensures servers are running scripts they own licences for.

How to use

There are only a couple of steps required to use Escrowed resources:

Use the correct FiveM account

❗️ Your purchases are linked to your FiveM account, and your FiveM account is linked to your FiveM server license key.

Meaning the FiveM account you use to login on Tebex before the purchase, needs to be the FiveM same account that you use to log into https://portal.cfx.re to generate your server license key.

Minimum server artifacts version required

❗️ It is required that your server is using server artifacts version 4960+.

✔️ This is required to be able to use resources on the new system. But you will eventually need to update at some point anyway right?

Common problems

You lack the required entitlement?

This message will be visible in your server console or client F8 console.

Reason 1 - Restart

After you purchase or transfer the resource(s) a server restart is always required.

Solution

Simply restart your server.

Reason 2 - Wrong CFX Key

Your server is using a FiveM server license key that is not linked to the initial purchase, meaning the resource(s) were purchased on the wrong FiveM account.

Solution 1 - Transfer

Whoever has access to the FiveM account the purchase(s) were made on needs to login to FiveM's Portal and transfer them to the correct account.

Solution 2 - License Key

If you login to FiveM's Portal and you are able to see your resource(s), this means your server is using a license key that is not linked to your purchase(s). So either create a new license key on Portal using this FiveM account or transfer them to the correct account.

Solution 3 - Owner

If you do not have access or can not contact the owner of the FiveM account the purchase(s) were made on, contact the Codesign Team in a Management Ticket on our Discord.

You can contact the Codesign Team in a Management Ticket on our Discord to check which FiveM account your purchase(s) are linked to.

Failed to verify protected resource?

Reason 1 - Corrupted files

Files were possibly corrupted during transfer.

Solution - Binary Transfer

Ensure the encrypted files are copied; the .fxap file must be included!

FileZilla by default automatically detects the required data type. This can corrupt .fxap files.

Force the binary transfer type - on the top menu select Transfer > Transfer Type > Binary and then transfer the files again.

In case this fails try using WinSCP instead.

Syntax error?

 This message will be visible in your server console or client F8 console.

Reason 1 - Restart

A server restart is always required after adding a new resource or updating an existing one.

Solution - Restart server

Simply restart your server.

Reason 2 - Artifacts version

You are not using a compatible server artifacts version - #Minimum server artifacts version.

Solution - Artifacts

Download a newer server artifacts version from https:/runtime.fivem.net (at least version 4960+).

Reason 3 - Editing encrypted code

You have edited the encrypted code.

Solution - Edited Files

Delete the current folder and redownload a fresh unedited version from FiveM's Keymaster.

Couldn't start resource?

This will cause players to not be able to join your server.

Reason 1 - Server Time

If this only happens to some players, but not all of them, this is because the time on your VPS/dedicated server is behind.

Solution - Server Time

Make sure in your windows settings, the time is being set automatically Example.

Start > Settings > Time and Language. Or watch this video.

FAQ

I own 3 servers, can I use the same resource on my 3 different servers at the same time?

Yes, as long as you are using a server license key that was generated from your FiveM account. This also applies for dev/local host servers too. Read this for more information #Use correct FiveM account.

Can I transfer the resource to another FiveM account?

Recent changes
