# How to Configure License Keys & Patreon Benefits in FiveM

> Unlock advanced OneSync features and custom clothing streaming. Learn how to manage your Cfx.re License Key and link Patreon tiers for project scaling.

## Technical Project Authorization

While a basic FiveM license key is free and sufficient for standard community hosting, many of the most sought-after features - such as **OneSync Infinity** (64+ slots) and **Custom Clothing (EUP)** - are gated by the official Cfx.re Patreon reward system. Understanding how to correctly link your license to your Patreon account is the essential first step toward scaling your community and providing a premium roleplay experience. This guide ensure your server identity is correctly authorized and synchronized with your subscription rewards.

## Step 1: Registry via Keymaster

Follow these steps to generate the primary identity token for your FREAKHOSTING instance.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Authenticate with Cfx.re">
    Sign in to the [Cfx.re Keymaster](https://keymaster.fivem.net/) portal using your FiveM forum credentials.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register Your Node">
    Click **New Server** and input your dedicated **FREAKHOSTING IP Address** (omit the port number).
  </Step>

  <Step title="IP Binding Logic">
    **Important:** Your license key is cryptographically locked to the IP address specified during this step. If your server IP changes due to a node migration or plan upgrade, you **must** update the IP registry within this portal immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Step 2: The Element Club Hierarchy

To access advanced engine features, your Cfx.re identity must be a verified member of the **Element Club**.

| Tier             | Primary Benefits              | Technical Use Case                           |
| :--------------- | :---------------------------- | :------------------------------------------- |
| **Basic (Free)** | 48 Slots                      | Standard friend groups and development.      |
| **Argentum**     | **Custom Clothing (EUP)**     | Mandatory for professional LEO/EMS roleplay. |
| **Aurum**        | **128 Slots** + Animal Peds   | High-population community growth.            |
| **Platinum**     | **2048 Slots** + Early Access | Enterprise-level project management.         |

## Step 3: Reward Synchronization

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Understanding Propagation Latency">
    After pledging to the [FiveM Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/fivem), the rewards are not instantaneous. It typically requires between **2 to 6 hours** for the subscription status to propagate to the global masterlist. You can verify successful synchronization when your key on the Keymaster portal displays the "Element Club" badge next to its identifier.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Resolving Authorization Failures">
    If your server fails to initialize with a "License Key Mismatch" error, ensure that the key is encapsulated in double quotes within your `server.cfg` and that you have not exceeded the active instance limit (Basic keys are restricted to 3 simultaneous servers).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Tip>
  ### Managing Your Subscription

  Always use the same email address for your Patreon pledge and your Cfx.re forum account. A discrepancy between these two addresses will prevent the system from automatically linking your rewards to your generated license keys.
