Understanding FiveM's escrow asset protection system

What's the Escrow System?

Escrow is FiveM's built-in asset protection system. It encrypts script files to prevent unauthorized distribution while still allowing server owners to run the resource.

Can I Edit Escrowed Scripts?

Yes — partially. All configuration files, shared utilities, and open-source modules are fully accessible. You can customize the script through these files without touching protected code.

Escrowed files (typically core logic and UI bundles) cannot be modified directly.

I Have the Correct Key But Still Get Errors

  1. Check status.cfx.re for any ongoing Cfx.re portal or platform issues
  2. Verify your server license key is correct in server.cfg
  3. Make sure your Cfx.re license key is active (not expired or transferred) via the Cfx.re portal
  4. Restart your server after making changes
