You Lack the Required Entitlement

Error Message

You lack the required entitlement to use script_name

Why This Happens

All FiveM escrow-protected scripts are linked to your FiveM account (the account you used on Tebex). The script requires a server key generated by the same FiveM account that purchased the script.

What is a Server Key?

• A server key is generated at FiveM Keymaster
• It is not a script key
• A FiveM server can only use one server key
• It's set in your server.cfg:

sv_licenseKey "27ztq5g2pcjua67q4xywujkuzh5m7j4a"

How to Fix

1. Restart Your Server

Sometimes a simple restart resolves the issue. Make sure to fully restart, not just ensure the resource.

2. Verify Your Server Key

Run this command in your FiveM server console:

sv_licenseKey

This shows which server key your server is currently using.

3. Verify Key Ownership

1. Note the server key from step 2
2. Go to FiveM Keymaster
3. Check the Purchased Assets tab — verify the script appears under this account
4. Check the Server Keys section — verify the key your server is using was generated by this same account

If the script isn't listed under your purchased assets, you may have used a different FiveM account on Tebex, or the script was transferred to another account.

4. Check System Time

Your server's operating system clock must be accurate. If it's more than one minute ahead or behind:

1. Check at https://time.is/
2. Select your server's location
3. If the time is off, sync it — watch this guide

5. Transfer the Script

If your server key belongs to a different account than the one that purchased the script, you have two options:

• Generate a new server key from the account that owns the script
• Transfer the script to the account that owns the server key

How to Transfer a Script

Find the Server Owner

You need to know the FiveM username of the account to transfer to:

1. Go to the FiveM Server List
2. Find your server and check the Owner field
3. Alternatively, check the server console for the nucleus auth ID, then visit https://servers.fivem.net/servers/detail/YOUR_ID

Transfer Steps

1. Log in to FiveM Keymaster
2. Go to the Purchased Assets tab
3. Find the script and click Transfer to another account
4. Enter the username of the target account
5. Confirm the transfer

ZAP-Hosting Users

If you're using ZAP-Hosting, you do not enter your server key in server.cfg. Instead, set it directly in the ZAP-Hosting web panel.
