Common Errors
Encountering errors? Here’s how to troubleshoot and resolve them efficiently!
You lack the required entitlement to use
If you see this message in your client or server console, it means there’s an issue with your server license key. To resolve this, ensure that your license key is linked to the same Keymaster account where the resource was purchased.
All resources rely on the FiveM Tebex Escrow System, which binds assets to a Keymaster account. They can only be used with a corresponding license key from that account.
To fix the issue, verify that your server’s license key matches the one assigned to the resource. After making changes, always restart the server to apply them.
Also, confirm that your server software and dependencies are fully updated.
Syntax error near
This error may appear in the client console. To resolve it, check the resource folder on your server and ensure it contains a valid .fxap
file, as required.
Error parsing script / Failed to load script
If you encounter this, it’s likely due to outdated server artifacts. Ensure your server is running version 5181 or later to prevent compatibility issues.
Error: syntax error near '<\1>'
This error can be triggered by several factors:
- File Transfer Issues: Using FileZilla can corrupt script structures. Instead, use WinSCP to maintain file integrity. If transferring files via Remote Desktop, avoid dragging them individually; instead, transfer the entire ZIP file and extract it directly on the server.
- Outdated Server Version: Your server must be running at least version 4752 or higher.
Failed to verify protected resource
If this error appears, files may have been corrupted during transfer. To prevent this:
- Ensure that hidden files are transferred correctly. The
.fxap
file inside protected resources must be included. - Some FTP clients may exclude hidden files—double-check your settings and re-upload if necessary.
