# 🔐 FiveM Escrow System

The **FiveM Escrow system** is designed to protect creators’ assets on the platform. It encrypts important parts of purchased resources to prevent unauthorized access, modification, or redistribution.\
This ensures that paid assets remain secure and exclusive to their rightful owners.

### ❌ Error: *You lack the required entitlement to use resource\_name*

This error usually means that the FiveM license key used on your server is not linked to the account that originally purchased the resource.\
In other words, the asset was bought on a different account.

👉 Another possible cause is that the resource was added without restarting the server.\
➡️ Try doing a full server restart to see if that fixes the issue.

### ❌ Error: Failed to verify protected resource resource\_name

This typically points to a problem with the resource files.

* Some files may have been corrupted during transfer
* Make sure all files are properly uploaded, especially the **.fxap** file (required for Escrow)
* Certain FTP clients may skip these files without warning

👉 Tip: If you're using [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/) and encounter issues, try switching to [WinSCP](https://winscp.net/eng/index.php).

### ⚠️ Error: Syntax error \</1> (and similar)

This kind of error can happen for several reasons:

* Your server artifact version is outdated (you need version **4960 or newer**)
* You modified encrypted files (which is not allowed with Escrow)
* The server wasn’t restarted after installing the resource

👉 Possible fixes:

* Update your server artifacts
* Make sure no protected files were edited
* Restart your server completely
