FiveM Escrow Protection

At FiveStar Scripts, we use the official FiveM Escrow system to protect our premium resources. This makes sure your purchased scripts only run on your licensed server, prevents unauthorized sharing, and protects the work of the developers.

What Is FiveM Escrow?

FiveM Escrow is an encryption and licensing system created by Cfx.re (the team behind FiveM). It:

• 🔐 Encrypts the main source code of purchased scripts

• 🖥️ Allows the script to run only on servers that are properly licensed

So you can use the script on your server, but the core code cannot be leaked or modified.

---

Which Files Are Protected?

Some parts of the script are locked (encrypted), while others remain open so you can configure and customize them.

Protected (Encrypted):

• Main script logic files (*.lua)

• Core systems and critical functionality

Unprotected (Editable):

• Configuration files (e.g. config.lua)

• Localization / language files (e.g. locales/*.json)

• Any files we intentionally leave open for customization

This structure lets you configure the script without having access to or modifying the core code.

How to Use Your Purchased Scripts

1️⃣ Licensed Server Required

Your scripts are tied to your license and will only run on the authorized server. Make sure you are using the correct server that matches your license.

---

2️⃣ Code Editing Limitations

• 🔒 Encrypted files cannot be edited or decompiled.

• 🛠️ You can fully customize the script using the open configuration files like config.lua and other non-encrypted files.

---

3️⃣ Installation & Activation

1. Upload the script folder to your server’s resources directory.

2. Check the fxmanifest.lua for dependencies and make sure they are installed.

3. Add the script to your server.cfg (e.g. ensure script-name).

4. Restart your server.

If everything is configured correctly and your license is valid, the script will start normally.

FAQ

❓ Can I use the script on multiple servers? No. Each server needs its own license. A single license is only valid for the server(s) defined in the Tebex/Keymaster setup.

---

❓ Can I edit the encrypted code? No. Encrypted files are locked by the Escrow system. However, you can customize behavior and settings through the provided config and localization files.

---

❓ Does the license last forever? Licenses are not guaranteed to be permanently “lifetime.” Future changes in FiveM’s Escrow system or licensing policies may affect how licenses work going forward. Any important changes will be communicated through our store or documentation.
