Asset Escrow is Cfx.re’s resource-protection system. It encrypts protected resource files while leaving files listed in escrow_ignore editable. Your server needs a valid Cfx.re license key that is linked to an account with access to the asset.

​
How Asset Escrow Works

When you download an Asset Escrow-protected resource from the Cfx.re portal, its source files are encrypted at the platform level. The files execute correctly on your server at runtime, but their contents cannot be read, edited, or extracted by anyone — including you. The entitlement is tied directly to the purchasing Cfx.re account, meaning only a server running under that account’s license key can load and run the resource. Attempting to use the resource on a server licensed to a different account will result in an access error at startup.

​
Before You Install

1

Download from the Cfx.re portal

Sign in to the Cfx.re account that made the purchase. Download the resource from Granted Assets. Do not download from any other source, as third-party copies will not carry a valid entitlement.
2

Keep the resource folder name consistent

Asset Escrow itself does not lock you to a specific folder name, but FA Scripts documentation, exports, and integration examples all reference the distributed name. Keeping it consistent means everything works out of the box.If you do choose to rename the resource, make sure server.cfg, every exports call, and any third-party integration are updated to match.
3

Add to server config

Add ensure resource-name to your server.cfg after all of the resource’s dependencies. Starting it out of order may cause errors unrelated to Asset Escrow.
4

Start with the matching license key

Your server’s license key must belong to the same Cfx.re account that purchased the resource. You can find and manage your server license keys in the Cfx.re Keymaster.

​
Editable vs. Protected Files

Only files listed in the resource’s escrow_ignore section are editable. They remain unencrypted so you can configure the resource. Do not edit protected files because Asset Escrow encrypts them and changes will not give you a supported modification path.

​
Common Errors

This error means the Cfx.re account that downloaded the resource does not own it, or your server is running under a different license key than the one associated with the purchase.To resolve this:
  • Sign in to the Cfx.re account you used when purchasing the resource.
  • Confirm the resource appears in your Asset Escrow downloads. If it does not appear, the purchase may be under a different account.
  • Open your server.cfg or server startup settings and verify that the license key belongs to the same Cfx.re account that owns the resource.
Confirm that your server.cfg uses the current folder name and that your server license key belongs to an account with access to the asset.If another resource calls an export through the old name, either restore the documented name or update that export call.
