# Requirements

What your server needs before installing AceStudios resources.

## Every resource

All AceStudios resources are protected by **Cfx.re Asset Escrow**. Each one declares `dependency '/assetpacks'` in its `fxmanifest.lua`, so your server must:

* Run a **recent FiveM server artifact** that supports escrowed resources.
* Use a **server license key** (`sv_licenseKey`) created on the same Cfx.re account that bought the resource. The resource will not load on a key from another account.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Don't rename resource folders unless a product page says you can. Several resources call their own exports by resource name. For example, `ace_advanced_multipacks.aceopenpack_backpack` only works if the folder is named `ace_advanced_multipacks`.
{% endhint %}

## Dependency matrix

This table lists the dependencies declared in each resource's manifest and config. ✅ = required. ◻️ = optional or auto-detected.

Download ox resources from their **Releases** page, not the green "Code" button. The source code has to be built before it works.
