### Common errors

<details>

<summary>You lack the required entitlement</summary>

**Information about the error:** This error occurs when there's an issue with the server key or the account used to purchase or activate a resource.

\
**Error fix:**

1. **Verify Server Key:** Ensure your server is using the correct server key linked to the FiveM account that purchased the resource. The server key must match the account that owns the resource.
2. **Check Account Ownership:** Make sure the FiveM account logged into [Portal](https://portal.cfx.re/login) owns the resource. If it's not visible, it may have been purchased with a different account or transferred.
3. **Server Key Management:** If the server key isn't generated by your account, either create a new key or transfer the resource to the account holding the key. <mark style="color:red;">Note that escrowed resources can only be transferred once.</mark>
4. **Restart Server:** A server restart can often resolve the issue.
