This resource is protected / escrow verification failed
A paid script could not confirm you are allowed to run it.
Do this first
Check your licence key in server.cfg matches the server the asset was granted to.
What it means
The resource ships with encrypted files through the Cfx asset escrow system. Either the server could not verify the grant, or something tried to read a file that is encrypted and always will be.
What causes it
Ordered by how often it is the answer.
- 1
The server key is missing or wrong
sv_licenseKeyin server.cfg is what identifies the server to Cfx. Escrow verification fails without a valid one. - 2
The asset is not granted to this server
Bought on one Cfx account, running on a server registered to another. Grants are per server key, not per person.
- 3
The server cannot reach Cfx
Verification is an online check. A firewall or an outage makes every escrowed resource fail to start.
- 4
Someone edited a protected file
Escrowed files cannot be modified. Only files listed in
escrow_ignoreare editable, and that list is set by the author. - 5
Copied from another server along with its files
Escrow does not travel. The new server needs its own grant.
How to tell which one is yours
Check the key is present and current:
# server.cfg sv_licenseKey "your-key-here"
Then open the Cfx portal and confirm the asset is granted to THIS server key. If other escrowed resources also fail, it is the key or connectivity; if only one fails, it is that grant.
Where to look
server.cfg for sv_licenseKey, and the Cfx keymaster grants list.
How to fix it
Nothing in the code can fix this: it is an entitlement, not a bug. Get the asset granted to the correct server key, or ask the seller to re-grant it.

This page is what this error usually means. Paste your console into Server Fixer and it will rank everything in it and tell you what to do first, and if you would rather not touch it, ORBIE can repair the script and hand the resource back ready to drop in.
