The server cannot find your license key
Also seen as: invalid license key FiveM sv_licenseKey error no license key server.cfg
What causes it
Your server.cfg is missing a valid sv_licenseKey, or the key is wrong. FiveM servers require a license key from the Cfx.re keymaster to start.
How to fix it
Get a key from the Cfx.re keymaster and set it in server.cfg.
- Go to the Cfx.re keymaster (keymaster.fivem.net) and create a server key.
- Add
sv_licenseKey "YOUR_KEY_HERE"to your server.cfg. - Make sure the key matches how you're hosting (some keys are IP-locked).
- Restart the server.
