FiveM ASSET ESCROW SYSTEM#

Welcome to the FiveM Asset Escrow System Guide! In this guide, you’ll find solutions to the most common issues encountered while using the escrow system. Each step is explained clearly so you can quickly fix problems, safeguard your assets, and keep everything running smoothly.

🔒 What is the FiveM Asset Escrow System?#

The FiveM Asset Escrow System is designed to protect creators by encrypting critical files within a resource. This ensures that paid assets—such as those from Onex Scripts—remain secure, tamper-resistant, and fully functional on your server.

KEY BENEFITS#

  • 🔐 Encryption of core files — Prevents unauthorized editing or code dumping.
  • 🪪 License validation — Requires a valid Keymaster entitlement to run.
  • ⏫ Version compatibility — Fully supports the latest FiveM artifacts; keeping your server updated is essential.

💡 Tip: Encrypted resources usually include a small escrow file (e.g., .fxap). Do not delete or rename this file, as it’s required for validation.

🛠️ COMMON ISSUES AND FIXES#

Below are the most frequent errors seen with escrow-protected resources and how to resolve them quickly.

❌ Failed to verify protected resourceonex-resourceName#

This typically indicates a missing or corrupted encrypted file after uploading the resource to your server.

Likely causes

  • Your FTP client skipped the escrow file (such as .fxap) during transfer
  • Incomplete upload or mismatched folder name

How to fix

  • Re-upload the resource ensuring all files are present, including any .fxap files
  • Prefer a reliable client like - WinSCP for uploads (it avoids skipping encrypted components)
  • Verify your server.cfg entry matches the folder name exactly:
# server.cfg
ensure onex-resourceName

✅ Recommendation: If you used FileZilla, try re-uploading with WinSCP to ensure encrypted files aren't skipped.

⚠️ You lack the required entitlement to useonex-resourceName#

Your server's license key isn't entitled to run the purchased asset.

Likely causes

  • The asset was purchased on a different CFX (Keymaster) account than the one linked to your server key
  • The server wasn't restarted after adding the resource

How to fix

  • Confirm the server license key in Keymaster belongs to the same account that purchased the asset
  • Restart your server after installing or updating the resource

💡 Tip: Entitlements are checked against your server key. Make sure the correct key is configured on the machine running your server.

⚙️ Syntax error</1>or similar#

These errors often stem from environment or file integrity issues.

Likely causes

  • Outdated FiveM artifact build (older than 4960)
  • Attempting to modify encrypted code
  • Server not restarted after installation/update

How to fix

  • Update to the latest recommended artifacts (4960+)
  • Do not edit escrow-protected files
  • Restart the server and check the console for any follow-up warnings

✅ Recommendation: Keep artifacts updated and avoid editing protected code; make customizations only in the exposed config files.

nfig files. s to ensure compatibility

  • Use WinSCP (or another reliable client) to upload encrypted assets
  • Never modify escrowed files; apply configuration via provided configs or exports
  • Restart the server after installing or updating protected resources

🧭 QUICK CHECKLIST#

  • Confirm all files uploaded (including .fxap)
  • server.cfg contains ensure onex-resourceName
  • Server license key belongs to the purchasing Keymaster account
  • Using artifacts 4960 or newer
  • Server restarted after installation/update
