How to Configure Your License Key in FiveM Delete
How to Configure Your License Key in FiveM | EUGameHost
Every public FiveM server requires a valid Cfx.re license key to start and appear in the server list.
This key links your server to your IP address and enables features such as OneSync.
Without a valid key, your server will fail to start.
Difficulty: Beginner
Time Required: 6 Minutes
Step 1: Find Your Server IP Address
Log in to your EUGameHost Game Panel.
Locate your server’s Public IP Address.
Example:
191.96.94.100
Make sure to copy only the IP address.
Do not include the port.
Example:
Correct: 191.96.94.100
Wrong: 191.96.94.100:30120
Step 2: Generate Your License Key
Go to the official Cfx.re Keymaster portal.
Sign in using your FiveM / Cfx.re account.
Click:
New Server
Fill in the details:
Display Name:
Choose any name for your server
Example:
EUGameHost Roleplay Server
Initial Server IP:
Enter your server IP address only
Example:
191.96.94.100
Server Type:
VPS
Provider:
EUGameHost
Click:
Generate
Your license key will be created.
It will look similar to:
cfxk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Copy this key.
Step 3: Add the License Key in the Panel
Go back to your EUGameHost Game Panel.
Open:
Startup
Find the field called:
License Key
Paste your cfxk_ key into the box.
Save the changes.
Step 4: Restart Your Server
Restart your server from the EUGameHost control panel.
Your FiveM server should now start successfully and become visible in the server browser.
Alternative Method: Add in server.cfg
You can also add the key manually inside your server.cfg.
Paste this line:
sv_licenseKey "cfxk_your_key_here"
Replace cfxk_your_key_here with your actual key.
Common Issue: IP Mismatch Error
If your server shows a license error, the most common cause is an IP mismatch.
Your license key must match the exact server IP used during setup.
If your server IP changes, you must update the key inside Cfx.re Keymaster or generate a new one.
