The Lichii keys folder is %APPDATA%\eden\keys on Windows and ~/.local/share/eden/keys on Linux and Steam Deck. Both prod.keys and title.keys go in that folder.
| Install type | Keys folder | Firmware (NAND) folder |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%\eden\keys | %APPDATA%\eden\nand |
| Windows, portable | <Lichii folder>\user\keys | <Lichii folder>\user\nand |
| Linux | ~/.local/share/eden/keys | ~/.local/share/eden/nand |
| Steam Deck | ~/.local/share/eden/keys | ~/.local/share/eden/nand |
Why does Lichii use the eden folder?
Lichii uses the eden folder because it is a fork of Eden and kept Eden’s data directories and configuration keys when it was renamed. Saves, settings and shader caches stay where they were.
How do you open the keys folder?
- On Windows, press Win + R, type
%APPDATA%\eden\keysand press Enter. - On Linux, open a file manager, press Ctrl + H to show hidden folders and go to
.local/share/eden/keysin your home folder. - In Lichii, use File > Open Lichii Folder if your build has it, then open
keys.
What happens when keys are in the wrong folder?
Lichii shows “Encryption keys are missing” and lists games by file name only. Move the files into the folder above, or use Tools > Install Decryption Keys so Lichii copies them itself.
Do Lichii and Eden share keys?
Yes. A non-portable Lichii install reads the same eden folder as Eden, so keys installed in one appear in the other. Use a portable install if you want separate key sets.
