Solutions

• You are using FileZilla and files were corrupted during transfer. Try an alternative FTP client like WinSCP.

• You are transferring the folder to your server file-by-file. Upload the .zip file as-is, then extract it after it finishes transferring to your VPS.

• Your server version is too old. Minimum version: 4752.

  • Download updated server artifacts here.

  • Or follow the official FiveM guide.

What does this mean?

All Tuff Scripts use the FiveM escrow system. Your scripts are linked to your FiveM account (the account you used on Tebex).

To work, the script(s) must run on a server using a server key created by the same FiveM account. Create a server key in FiveM Keymaster.

Add it to your server’s server.cfg like this:

sv_licenseKey "5594nen725je5bw8s8rkwhahepnmsp9b"

The script is on my friend’s FiveM account

To transfer the script to another account:

FiveM Keymaster → Purchased assets → Transfer to another account

cfx.re only allows scripts to be transferred one time. You can’t transfer the script again after this.

ZAP-Hosting

If you use a ZAP-Hosting server, you don’t have to enter your server key in server.cfg. Add it in your server’s control panel instead. Official instructions are here.

Read all instructions above very carefully.

If you have tried everything and still have issues, wait at least 30 minutes after purchase. Then do a full server restart.
