# How to Update Your Asset

Keeping your assets up-to-date via FiveM Keymaster ensures that you have the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes. Follow these steps to smoothly update your asset:

## Step 1: Backup Your Current Version

Before updating, it's crucial to back up your current version in case you need to revert to it later.

* **Server Files**: Copy your current asset folder to a safe location on your server.
* **Database** (if applicable): Export your current database or relevant tables.

## Step 2: Access FiveM Keymaster

* Go to the [**FiveM Keymaster**](https://keymaster.fivem.net/) website.
* Log in with the credentials you used to purchase or manage your assets.

## Step 3: Download the Latest Version

* Navigate to the **"Granted Assets"** section.
* Find the asset you want to update and click on it.
* Download the latest version of the asset to an easily accessible location on your computer.

## Step 4: Review the Changelog

* Check the **Changelog** file included with the update or available on the Keymaster page.
* Note any changes that might require you to update your configuration or other scripts.

## Step 5: Replace the Old Files

* Delete or replace the old asset files on your server with the new ones you downloaded from Keymaster.
  * **Important:** Do not overwrite your `config.lua` or `cfg.lua` files unless the update specifically requires it.
* If the asset includes a `config.lua` or similar file, compare it with your old version to merge any new settings.

## Step 6: Update Database (if necessary)

* If the update requires database changes, follow the instructions provided in the update notes.
* Run any provided SQL scripts to update your database structure.

## Step 7: Restart Your Server

* After replacing the files and updating the database (if needed), restart your server to apply the update.
* Check the server console for any errors during startup.

## Step 8: Test the Asset

* Once the server is running, thoroughly test the updated asset to ensure everything works as expected.
* Verify that new features or fixes are functioning correctly.

## Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues after updating:

* Review the installation and update instructions again.
* Check for any missing dependencies or configuration errors.
* Contact support if you need further assistance.
