# How to Add a GSLT Token to your American Truck Simulator server

How to add a GSLT Token to your American Truck Simulator server. 

Many games, including **American Truck Simulator**, require a **Game Server Login Token (GSLT)** to run your server.

This token verifies that servers are created by legitimate users and holds server owners accountable if their servers violate the game’s **Terms of Service**.

## Adding a GSLT Token via Game Settings

1. Open your **Nodecraft Dashboard** and select your **American Truck Simulator** server.
2. Go to the **Server Login Token** tab.

**Note: Always make sure your server is offline before making configuration changes to ensure they are properly applied and saved.**

3. Enter your **GSLT token** in the provided field.

5. **Start** server.

**Note: Not sure how to get a GSLT token? Check out our guide on How to Create a Steam GSLT Token for step-by-step instructions.**

**For ATS app code: 270880**

## Adding a GSLT Token via Server Files (Manual Method)

1. Open your **Nodecraft Dashboard** and navigate to your **American Truck Simulator** server.
2. Select the **Server Files** tab.

  **Note: Always make sure your server is offline before making configuration changes to ensure they are properly applied and saved.**
3. Locate the file named `server_config.sii`.
4. Click **Edit**.

![ATS config file location](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1847x710/7ac08e5144/ats_config.png/m/)

4. Find the following line: `server_logon_token: ""`  
5. Replace it with your GSLT token, formatted like this: `server_logon_token: "YourGSLTTokenHere"`

6. Click **Save**.  
7. **Start** server.

## Troubleshooting

If your server fails to start or your GSLT token doesn’t seem to apply, try the following:

- **Verify your GSLT token:** Double-check that you copied the entire token correctly from the Steam Game Server Account Management page.
- **Confirm the correct App ID:** Ensure your token was created for **Euro Truck Simulator 2 (App ID: 227300)**.
- **Check for quotes:** Make sure the token is surrounded by straight quotation marks (`" "`) and not smart quotes (“ ”).
- **Ensure the server is offline** before making edits — changes made while it’s running won’t be saved properly.
- **Restart the server** after saving changes to fully reload the configuration.
- **Check for existing tokens:** Only one valid GSLT token can be active per server instance. Remove duplicates if present.

## Conclusion

Adding a **GSLT token** is a vital step in setting up your ATS server. It ensures that your server is recognized by Steam, remains in compliance with the game’s policies, and can appear properly in public or private listings. Whether added through the **Game Settings** tab or manually in the configuration file, always double-check your formatting and restart the server afterward.

With your GSLT properly set, your server is ready to roll smoothly on the open road!
