This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to get your FiveM FX Server Key and properly configure it on your Cloud Nord Gaming FiveM server.
How to Get an FX Server Key:
- Go to the FiveM Keymaster:
Open your web browser and navigate to the official FiveM Keymaster website: https://keymaster.fivem.net/ - Log In with your FiveM Account:
You'll need to log in with your FiveM forum account. If you don't have one, please create one first. - Register a New Key:
- Once logged in, you should see an option to "Register a new key."
- Label: Give your key a descriptive label (e.g., "My Dev Server," "Community RP Server"). This helps you identify it later if you have multiple keys.
- IP Address: This is crucial. Enter the public IP address of the server where you will be hosting your FiveM instance. This is the IP which is displayed on the Cloud Nord Game Panel for your server.
- If your server's IP changes, you'll need to update it on the Keymaster.
- Server Type: Select the appropriate server type (usually "Dedicated Server" or "Game Server").
- Generate and Copy the Key:
After filling out the details and agreeing to the terms, click "Generate." Your new FX server key will be displayed. Copy this key immediately.
How to Input the Key into your Server on the Cloud Nord Gaming Panel:
- Input the Key into your Server on the Panel:
- Log in to the Cloud Nord Gaming Panel.
- Navigate to your specific FiveM server.
- Go to the "Startup" tab.
- Look for the field specifically labeled "License Key," "FX_SERVER_KEY," or "sv_licenseKey".
- Paste your copied FX server key into this field.
- Save your startup parameters.
- Important: Remember to restart your FiveM server for the changes to take effect. You can usually do this from the "Console" or "Control" tab within your Game Panel.
