First time buying a Fiv3Devs MLO? Start here.
A 5-minute orientation for first-time buyers: how the Tebex → Keymaster flow works, what emails you'll get, where your download lives, and what Escrow means.
If you’ve never bought a FiveM MLO from us before, this article covers everything you need to know before checkout — how the Tebex → Keymaster flow works, what emails to expect, where your download actually lives, and what Escrow encryption means for the asset you’re buying.
Where to buy
Every Fiv3Devs MLO, add-on, script, bundle, and pack is sold through our official Tebex store:
- Store: fiv3devs.tebex.io
- Catalog browser: fiv3devs.com/maps/
Do not buy our assets anywhere else. Any listing of our MLOs outside the Tebex store above is either stolen or a reseller pretending — and in both cases the licence will not work on your server.
What happens at checkout
Tebex handles checkout. It signs you in with your CFX.RE account (the same account you use for your FiveM client and your server keys). This is important: the asset will be bound to that CFX account forever. Buy from the account that runs the server you intend to install on.
After payment you’ll receive two emails:
- Purchase details from Tebex. This is your receipt. It contains your Tebex Transaction ID — save it somewhere. The Transaction ID is the only form of purchase proof we accept for support tickets, verified-buyer role assignment, or any dispute.
- Keymaster download from CFX. This is where the asset actually lives. The link takes you to your CFX portal at portal.cfx.re where you can download the ZIP.
You can skip the emails and go straight to keymaster.fivem.net/asset-grants — everything you’ve ever bought with that CFX account is listed there under Granted Assets.
How the licence works
Think of it like Steam: your CFX account is the Steam account, and each MLO you buy is like a Steam game bound to that account. The licence follows your account, not the server.
- The asset works on any FiveM server key registered to the same CFX account. If you run three servers under the same CFX account, the MLO works on all three without paying again.
- If you try to install the asset on a server you don’t own — for example a rented server key
registered to a hosting provider’s CFX account — the server will refuse to start the resource.
You’ll see
you lack the required entitlementin the server console. - Sending the downloaded files to a friend doesn’t work either, for the same reason. The licence check runs on the FiveM side, not inside the file.
If you don’t actually own the server — e.g. you pay a host for a “server key” but the key is registered to their CFX account — the transfer procedure exists. See How to transfer a FiveM asset between Keymaster accounts.
What Escrow means
All Fiv3Devs assets ship under Tebex Escrow encryption. That’s the same protection layer most premium FiveM creators use. Escrow locks the 3D source files and parts of the scripting surface so the asset can’t be redistributed, resold, or stripped of its licence check.
What this means in practice:
- You can edit config values. You can swap textures, signs, and customizable props (see How to change textures and logos).
- You can’t edit 3D geometry or embedded textures.
- You can’t ship a decrypted copy to anyone.
- Asking us for a decrypted version is effectively asking for a pirated version — we will not release one.
Every product page on this site lists exactly what’s customizable for that specific MLO. If something you need to change is outside what Escrow allows, tell us in your Discord ticket before you buy — sometimes we can expose a new config option in a patch, but it has to happen before payment.
When you’ll actually want a refund (spoiler: rarely)
Digital goods are non-refundable once downloaded — same policy as every FiveM store. What we do instead:
- Broken file → free replacement for the life of the licence.
- Conflict caused by our asset → patch if the fix is within our scope.
- Conflict caused by another resource in your server → support advice, not a refund.
The full policy is on our Refund Policy page. Tebex has the final word on contested refund cases.
One-line summary
Buy on Tebex, download from Keymaster, keep your Transaction ID, don’t share the files, and read the Escrow section on the product page before you expect to rewrite the 3D models. Next up: how to install the MLO on your server.
