# Step 3 — Configure server.cfg

# Step 3 — Configure `server.cfg`

Add the Nord Forge licensing configuration to your FiveM `server.cfg`.

Recommended configuration:

```cfg
setr nord_license "FG-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
setr nord_keymaster "cfxk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
sv_licenseKey "cfxk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
```

## `nord_license`

Your global Nord Forge license key:

```cfg
setr nord_license "FG-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
```

## `nord_keymaster`

The FiveM server Keymaster used by Nord Forge validation:

```cfg
setr nord_keymaster "cfxk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
```

## `sv_licenseKey`

Your normal FiveM server license:

```cfg
sv_licenseKey "cfxk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
```

## Important

These two values must refer to the same FiveM server:

```cfg
setr nord_keymaster "cfxk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
sv_licenseKey "cfxk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
```

The same Keymaster must also be registered in **Nord Forge → Servers**.

## Legacy Forge Key fallbacks

Some older resources may also support:

```cfg
setr nord_forge_key "FG-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
```

or:

```cfg
setr forge_key "FG-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
```

The preferred configuration is:

```cfg
setr nord_license "FG-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
```
