How it works
Asset Escrow is built for developers who sell FiveM resources and want to protect their work from being leaked or copied. Here’s the flow:- Encryption — Selected files in the resource are encrypted and locked as an “asset.” Those files can’t be viewed or edited; only the FiveM runtime can use them on an authorized server.
- Licensing — When the resource starts, FiveM checks your server’s license key from the Cfx Keymaster. The resource runs only if the FiveM account that owns that key also owns the asset.
- Purchase — When you buy a script from our Tebex store, the asset is granted to the FiveM account you’re logged in with. To use it, your server must use a license key generated on that same account.
Server build: Asset Escrow resources require FiveM server build 5181 or newer. If you see “Error parsing script” or “Failed to load script,” update your server artifacts.
What you need to know
- At checkout — You’ll be asked to log in with your FiveM account. That account is the one the resource is tied to. Use the same FiveM account that owns the license key your server uses, or the resource won’t start.
- Managing assets — You can view, download, and (once) transfer owned assets in the Keymaster under “Purchased assets” / asset grants. You’ll also get a download link by email after purchase.

Common errors
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| You lack the required entitlement | Your server’s license key isn’t from the account that owns the asset. Use the correct key or transfer the asset to the account that owns your server key. |
| Failed to verify protected resource | The resource was likely copied without hidden files. Ensure the .fxap file (and any other hidden files) are present; some FTP or file tools skip them. Re-download from Keymaster if needed. |
