Upgrading Your FiveM License Key for a Higher Player Count

To increase the maximum player count on your FiveM server, you must upgrade your existing FiveM license key. Previously, FiveM required a Patreon payment to raise the player limit, but this is now done through the portal.cfx.re. Below, we show you how to upgrade your key so you can allow more players on your FiveM server.

---

Prerequisites

• An already functional FiveM server.
• Access to cfx.re’s License Key system.
• A valid FiveM license key that you wish to upgrade.
• Access to a payment method to complete the upgrade purchase via portal.cfx.re.

---

Step 1: Log In to portal.cfx.re

1. Open your browser and go to https://portal.cfx.re/.
2. Log in with the account you originally used to create your FiveM license key. If you don't have an account, you will need to create one.

Step 2: Find Your Existing Key under "Servers"

1. Once logged in, click on the "Servers" tab.
2. Here, you will see a list of your current FiveM license keys. Select the key you want to upgrade.

---

Step 3: Purchase the Upgrade under "Subscriptions"

1. Once you have located your key, navigate to the "Subscriptions" tab in the top menu.
2. Here, you can purchase the desired upgrade to allow a higher player count on your server.
3. Select the plan that suits your needs and complete the payment. You will be guided through a checkout flow where you can pay with, for example, a credit card.

Step 4: Confirmation and Activation

1. Once the payment is completed, cfx.re will update your key with the new number of allowed players.
2. The system usually registers the change within a few minutes.
3. Go back to "Servers" to ensure your key now reflects the upgraded player count.

Step 5: Update server.cfg (If Necessary)

In most cases, you do not need to make changes to your server.cfg if you haven't received an entirely new license key. However, if you *have* received a new key, you must:

1. Open your game panel or log in via SFTP and locate server.cfg in your FiveM server folder.
2. Search for the line containing sv_licenseKey.
3. Replace the existing key with your new one (if you received a new one). Example:

sv_licenseKey "your_new_upgraded_key_here" 

Restart your server to ensure everything is updated correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Will my player limit be updated immediately?
  Yes, usually it happens immediately after the payment is registered. In some cases, it may take a few minutes.
• Can I downgrade my key later?
  You can often adjust your subscription in portal.cfx.re, but check the refund terms before downgrading.
• Can you upgrade my key for me?
  No, the upgrade itself is handled by cfx.re. You must do it through portal.cfx.re.
