APEX uses CFX’s escrow system. The asset is locked to your server license — but the parts you actually need to edit are deliberately left out of the escrow envelope.

​
What’s in escrow

The encrypted Lua (game logic, NUI bridges, server validation) is locked. You can’t read it, can’t copy it, can’t redistribute it. Each Tebex purchase grants a single server-license use.

​
What’s outside escrow

Every APEX script lists its escrow_ignore files in fxmanifest.lua. The standard set is:
  • config.lua — positions, prices, cooldowns, feature toggles
  • hooks.lua — every external integration point (notify, anti-cheat, dispatch, garage, quest, license, …)
  • locales/*.lua — all user-facing strings, with full umlaut support
  • html/* or web/* — UI assets (where the script ships a NUI)
Some scripts (apex-crafting, apex-dispatch-app, apex-solarpark) ship more in escrow_ignore — see the per-script page.

​
The hooks philosophy

APEX scripts never assume your server’s notify, anti-cheat, dispatch, or quest stack. Every external touch goes through a hook in hooks.lua that you can replace without ever decrypting anything.
A typical hooks.lua exposes:
  • Notification hooks — Hooks.ShowClientNotify, Hooks.OnServerNotify, Hooks.ShowHelpText / Hooks.HideHelpText
  • Anti-cheat hook — Hooks.BanPlayer / Hooks.OnAntiCheatViolation, default DropPlayer
  • Audit log hook — Hooks.OnAuditLog, default lib.logger
  • Permission hook — Hooks.HasManagerPermission / Hooks.HasPermission / Hooks.IsAuthorized
  • Domain hooks — Hooks.ImpoundVehicle, Hooks.OnDispatchUpdate, Hooks.HasFlightLicense, Hooks.OpenFishmarket, …
Every hook ships with a sensible ESX / ox_lib default, so scripts work standalone. Override anything you want.

​
Updating

When a new version drops, your existing config.lua, hooks.lua, and locales/*.lua carry over — only the encrypted core changes. Diff the new config.lua for added keys, then restart.
If you’ve extensively edited config.lua or hooks.lua, keep a backup before re-importing.

​
Support

Bug reports, integration questions, and feature requests go through Discord. Refunds are not available once the asset is downloaded — Tebex’s standard digital-goods policy applies.
