Add your own license key (Patreon) to the server

Why would you need a custom key?

You would require your own license key, primarily if you wish to use your FiveM Patreon benefits including items such as Onesync, coloured server name and more. Alternatively, you may want a custom license key to change the listed owner on the server list or if you receive an error that the automatically generated ZAP key is invalid.

Preparation

To create your own license key, you should first login to the Cfx.re Keymaster website. If you do not have an existing Cfx.re Forum account, you must create one in order to to be able to login and proceed.

For txAdmin: If you are using txAdmin version of the gameserver, you must instead define the key under the sv_licensekey parameter. You can access your server.cfg file either via your txAdmin interface panel, the Configs section on your gameserver's webinterface or directly through FTP access.
