Error

Failed to verify protected resource (escrow)

The error you get with paid escrow (.fxap) scripts. Here's why it happens and how to link the key so it loads.

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):

lua

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