# Adding a GSLT Token ETS2 and ATS Server

Information on adding a GSLT Token to Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator Server

## Summary

A Game Server Login Token (GSLT) provides an added layer of security and verifies server ownership, preventing fake or unauthorized servers from appearing in public server lists.

## Why GSLT Keys Are Required

Many games, including Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, require a GSLT to ensure that servers are operated by legitimate owners. This system also helps enforce accountability if a server violates Valve’s Terms of Service.

Important:  
For Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, a GSLT key is required to keep your server’s **Session Search ID** consistent across restarts.

## To create a GSLT, your Steam account must:

-   Not be banned or blocked.
    
-   Not be limited.
    
-   Have a verified phone number attached.
    
-   Own the game associated with the key.
    
-   Have fewer than 1,000 GSLT keys generated.
    

If your server violates Valve’s Terms of Service, both your server and linked Steam account may be banned.

## How to Obtain a GSLT Key

1.  Log in to the **Steam Community** website.
    
2.  Go to the [**Steam Game Servers Account**](https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers) page.
    
3.  Enter the appropriate App ID:
    
    -   **ETS2:** 227300
        
    -   **ATS:** 270880
        
4.  (Optional) Add a note for reference.
    
5.  Click **Create**.
    
6.  Copy the **Login Token** — this is your GSLT key.
