    Minecraft is asking me to buy it again upon launch (I migrated my account)


    When I tried to launch Minecraft from the official launcher it said that I needed to buy it again, I already owned a Minecraft account so i found this odd, so I searched up solutions online. Most of them said to reinstall the launcher, which I tried however it did not work, and upon launching again it still asked me to buy it. Some other solutions were from pre migration and said to add my Microsoft account to the Minecraft launcher, which I already did so I really do not have a solution
    So if anybody knows how I can access the game again it would be appreciated, if needed I can show proof that I had an account and bought Minecraft, because i did Migrate, and even played after migration. I also have the migrator cape so yeah I should own the game

    :)

    Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Minecraft account.

    Based on your description, the error suggests that the system can't find the Minecraft game license on your Microsoft account.

    Your Minecraft account must have migrated to the original Microsoft account email address where it was first created.

    In order to fix this, you will need to confirm if you are using the correct Microsoft account where your Minecraft was migrated and where your Minecraft game license was purchased.

    Kindly sign in to all of your Microsoft email accounts on account.microsoft.com > payment and billing > order history > select the date of range when you purchased your Minecraft game.

    From there, check if you have the Minecraft transaction order number. If you have found the transaction, use the same Microsoft account to log in to Microsoft Store and Minecraft Launcher.

    If you're unable to find the Minecraft game transaction, check your other Microsoft email accounts' order history.

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl

    Minecraft forgot that I already have it after migrating to Microsoft account

    No, I know that. The Microsoft account is the problem, it thinks I don’t have Minecraft and is making me buy it again. I want to know how to reverse the migration and get my Mojang account back. Is there any way at all for me to get Minecraft back, or do I have to buy it again?

    I Have an error when migrating my Mojang account to Microsoft account

    Hey there!

    Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this on your Minecraft account migration. I am here to help.

    If I may ask, may I have the exact error message upon attempting to migrate your Minecraft account?

    If you have posted a screenshot of the error, my apologies but it doesn't show up with your issue description.

    Double billing for migrated game

    No, it wouldn't be there anyway, lemme explain. I bought Minecraft back in 2012, this was way before it was even considered that Mojang would migrate accounts to you, back then, to get the game, you had to buy this special card and Walmart for 30 dollars then sign up for Minecraft after the payment was made. I migrated my account last night and after the migration completed, when I signed on it was giving me the option to play the demo, and telling me that I had to buy it again on their website to get the full experience.
