# What is the FiveM Escrow System? The **FiveM Escrow System** is an official protection system created by Cfx.re (the developers of FiveM). It is designed to **protect script creators** by encrypting their code and preventing unauthorized access, leaks, or edits. When you purchase a script that uses Escrow, you **can still configure it normally** (via `config.lua` and other open files), but **core logic files are encrypted** and cannot be edited or viewed. ✅ Key Points: * Scripts with Escrow are **fully functional** on any properly licensed FiveM server. * Only **non essential files** (e.g. main logic, exports) are encrypted, configs and locales are usually open. * You **cannot modify the protected parts** of the script. * Escrow scripts **require Grand Theft Auto V – Grand Assets** and a valid **license key** (`sv_licenseKey`) in your server.cfg. * You must **download the script from your Tebex account** or **CFX portal website** reuploads or copies will not work. ℹī¸ Why is Escrow used? Escrow is used to **protect developers from leaks and resellers**, ensuring fair usage and supporting continued updates and development of the scripts you purchase. {% hint style="info" %} FiveM Escrow System: {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
