### 1. Log in to your CFX Portal

Log in to your CFX Portal here: [https://portal.cfx.re](https://portal.cfx.re)

### 2. Go to Granted Assets

Open the Granted Assets page: [https://portal.cfx.re/assets/granted-assets](https://portal.cfx.re/assets/granted-assets)

### 3. Download the preferred version

Download one of the following files, depending on which version you want to use:

- `Civilian | BF Serata [GTA]`

### 4. Extract the ZIP file

Unzip the downloaded file.

Depending on the version you choose, this will be one of the following:

- `bfserata.pack.zip`
- `bfserata2.pack.zip`

### 5. Upload the resource to your server

Add the main folder of the selected version to your server.

Use:

- `bfserata` for the **GTA license plate** version
- `bfserata2` for the **GTA variant license plate** version

You can place the folder in your main `resources` folder or inside a custom category folder such as `[vehicles]`.

Example locations:

resources/bfserata
```

```
resources/bfserata2
```

or

```
resources/[vehicles]/bfserata
```

```

### 6. Start the vehicle in your server config

Add the selected resource to your `server.cfg`.

For the GTA license plate version:

```
ensure bfserata
```

For the GTA variant license plate version:

```
ensure bfserata2
```

If you placed the resource inside a category folder, make sure that folder is started correctly on your server.

Example:

```
ensure [vehicles]
```

> **Important:** For escrowed products such as this one, you must perform a **full server restart** when starting the vehicle for the first time.

## ⚠️ Important Notes

- Make sure the resource name matches the version you uploaded.
- Use `bfserata` for the **GTA license plate** version.
- Use `bfserata2` for the **GTA variant license plate** version.
- If you rename the folder, you must also update the resource name in your `server.cfg`.
- For escrowed assets, a full server restart is required the first time you start the resource.

## 🧯 Troubleshooting

### The vehicle does not appear in-game

Make sure that:

- the correct folder was uploaded
- the resource is added to your `server.cfg`
- the server has been fully restarted
- the resource name matches the actual folder name
- you started the correct version

### The vehicle resource does not start

Make sure that:

- the ZIP file was extracted correctly
- the main folder was uploaded, not the ZIP file itself
- the folder structure is correct inside your server resources directory
- the correct resource name is used in `server.cfg`
- you performed a full server restart for the first startup
