Licences & Activation

How Sculk FiveM licences work, what a key covers, activation on your server, transfers, and refunds.

On this page4 entries

§8.1The anticheat licence

Buying a FiveM licence issues a standard Sculk licence key (SCULK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) immediately at checkout. It's delivered on the confirmation page, by email, and stays retrievable in your account.

Two tiers exist:

  • FiveM Server, one licence per server.
  • FiveM Network, one licence covering unlimited servers operated as one network (shared staff team and policy).

Both are one-time purchases. Your key keeps everything it covers, nothing is repurchased, and no subscription appears retroactively.

§8.2Activation

Download the server-side resource from your account, drop it into resources/ as sculkanticheat, and set the convars in server.cfg (before the ensure — the file runs top to bottom):

# Mandatory: read-only once the server is running, and without it most of
# the resource is inert.
set onesync on

# `set`, not `setr` — the key must never replicate to clients.
set sculk_license "SCULK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"

ensure sculkanticheat

The resource reads the key from the sculk_license convar and nowhere else; there is no field inside the resource config to paste it into. The full first-run sequence, including the engine hardening convars, is in Licence Delivery and Activation.

Activation binds a FiveM Server licence to your server's generated identity; the binding is resettable from your account page if you migrate machines. FiveM Network licences activate any number of servers. Each licence holds one live session per server — if a second copy of your key activates somewhere else, your console says so.

Enforcement settings live on the anticheat dashboard and reach every activated server on its next heartbeat — within a minute, no restart.

§8.3Transfers and ownership

The licence belongs to the purchase email. To move it to a new server, reset the binding in your account. To transfer ownership to a different person or organisation, open a billing ticket at /fivem/support from the purchasing address.

§8.4Refunds

Refunds are handled under the refund terms in the Terms of Service, plus your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. To start one, open a ticket at /fivem/support with the billing topic and your order id.
