Error: You lack the required entitlement

When you try to run a script on a server that doesn't match the original account's credentials (or license key), FiveM will block execution and display this error in your server console (or client F8 console):

You lack the required entitlement to use rhud

Causes and Solutions

1. Server Not Restarted

   After purchasing or transferring the resource, your server session may still be using outdated entitlement data.

   Solution

   • Perform a full server restart: Shut down your server completely, wait a few seconds, and start it again.
   • Verify the console logs: After restarting, check the server console to confirm if the entitlement error persists.

2. Incorrect License Key

   The server could be using a license key that is not linked to the account that owns the resource.

   Solution

   • Confirm correct license key: Log-in to the Cfx.re Portal with the same account that purchased (or currently holds) the resource.
   • Create or copy the key: copy the license key for your server, or create a new key if needed.
   • Apply key in server.cfg: Update your server's server.cfg file with the new license key:

     sv_licenseKey "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE"
     

   • Restart the server

3. Purchased on the Wrong Account

   If the resource was purchased on a different account and you need it on yours (or vice versa), you will need to transfer ownership.

   Solution

   Transfer Ownership:

   1. Log-in to the Cfx.re Portal with the account that purchased the resource.
   2. Go to the Assets tab.
   3. Choose the resource and click Transfer.
   4. Enter the recipient's Cfx.re username when prompted and click Transfer.¹
