- You’re using FileZilla (or your host uses it) — use WinSCP instead
- The download was corrupted — try a clean, fresh install
- You have a virus on your server modifying script files (very likely if nothing else fixes it)
- Minimum server artifacts version 4752
- OneSync has to be enabled
- Use the correct license key, generated by the same account you used to download the script

Reason
All scripts using the FiveM escrow system are linked to your FiveM account (the account you used on Tebex).In order to work, the script(s) require a server using a server key created by the same FiveM account you used on Tebex.What is a server key?
- The server key is generated in FiveM Portal
- The server key is not a script key
- A FiveM server can use only 1 server key
How to verify my server key?
To verify what server key your server is currently using, use the following command in your FiveM server console:sv_licenseKeyExample:

I followed all steps but nothing is working, what can I do?
If you have followed all steps, then you just have a virus in your server. Try creating a clean server with only the default framework scripts and jaksam’s scripts.How to verify if I have a virus in my server?
Open the file mentioned by jaksam’s script with notepad, and scroll down to the bottom. If there is partially readable code (for examplelocal...), that’s a virus added by something else, because normally the entire file would be encrypted. In this case, you’ll have to solve that issue before being able to use any script.
