Failed to verify protected resource (escrow)

The problem

A paid resource (Quasar, Codem, Rcore, Wasabi…) won't start and the console shows «Failed to verify protected resource» or «entitlement».

The cause

The resource uses FiveM Asset Escrow (.fxap): the code is encrypted and verified against your Cfx account. The error means the key is NOT linked to the right account/server, or you didn't restart after installing. It is NOT a config bug.

The solution

Link the asset to your account and restart the server (don't edit the encrypted core):

-- 1) Buy/obtain the asset from the SAME Cfx.re account your sv_licenseKey uses.
-- 2) In Keymaster (keymaster.fivem.net) the asset must show under "Granted assets".
-- 3) Make sure your server.cfg uses THAT account's sv_licenseKey:
sv_licenseKey "YOUR_KEYMASTER_KEY"
-- 4) Restart the WHOLE server (not just the resource) so it re-verifies.

Step by step

1. 1.Confirm you bought the script with the same Cfx.re account tied to your sv_licenseKey.
2. 2.In Keymaster, check the asset is in your 'Granted assets'.
3. 3.Restart the whole server (FXServer restart), not just the resource.
4. 4.If you changed machine/IP, regenerate the sv_licenseKey in Keymaster.
5. 5.Only edit config/locales (what escrow_ignore exposes); never try to decrypt the core.
