Overview
Asset Escrow protects developer resources through encryption and account-based licensing. When a server starts a protected resource, FiveM automatically verifies ownership before allowing it to run. The process works as follows:-
Protected Files
Important files inside the resource are encrypted and compiled into a protected asset. These files cannot be viewed, modified, or extracted, and are only executed internally by the FiveM runtime. -
Ownership Verification
When the resource starts, FiveM checks the server’s Cfx.re license key through the Keymaster. The resource will only run if the license key belongs to the same FiveM account that owns the asset. -
Purchasing Resources
When purchasing a resource, the asset is granted to the FiveM account used during checkout. Your server must run with a license key generated from that same account.
Server requirement: Asset Escrow resources require FiveM server build 5181 or newer.
If you encounter errors such as “Failed to load script” or “Error parsing script,” update your server artifacts using the official FiveM documentation.

Important Notes
-
Account Matching
The FiveM account that owns the purchased resource must also be the account that generated the server’s license key. -
Managing Your Assets
Purchased resources can be viewed, downloaded, and transferred through the Keymaster asset management page. You will also receive a download link via email after completing a purchase.
Manage Purchased Assets
Access your purchased resources, download them again, or transfer ownership to another account.
Common Issues
| Issue | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Missing entitlement / lack of ownership | The server license key belongs to a different FiveM account than the one that owns the asset. Use the correct key or transfer the asset through Keymaster. |
| Protected resource verification failed | This usually means the resource files were copied incorrectly. Ensure all hidden files (including .fxap) are present and re-download the asset from Keymaster if necessary. |
