Accidental liscence transfer?

MacleanC · Mar 4, 2015

A couple of my friends claim to have each others downloads on their xbox. They told me that they got on xbox and it just happened. Neither of them have logaged in on the others xbox. I think it's *** that it happened randomly but it really happened. I
played dlc with one of them earlier that they did not pay for. How?

:)

Trasfer Liscence?

Hello there VANDETA V1,

No, this is not for sending friends Games, or other content. It is for, If your console was recently repaired, or if you’ve purchased a new console, use the license transfer option on your console to transfer content licenses to your new or repaired console.

How do you cancel a Phantasy Star Universe Liscence?

It's the home console feature that is on the One that is doing it. By making their friends profile on that console as the Home console they can get access to all the content that friend buys.

The most likely thing that happened is that somebody else has signed into their console at some point and made it their own "My Home Xbox", which essentially marks it as their main console.

Basically the way it works is like this; Lets say, before I got my Xbox One, I went to a friends house who had one and recovered my gamertag onto it so I could use my own account to play with. Because that was the first Xbox One console that I signed in
on, it is now my accounts home xbox. Then later on I get my own, sign in, and start buying games. Everything will work just fine on my console, but anything I buy will automatically download to the home xbox as well. This will continue to happen until I go
into the setting and on mine and designate it as my home xbox. The main difference is that on the home xbox anything I buy can be used by any account but on my own console, which is not my home xbox, content is only available while my account is actually signed
in.

No, you can only play a game on a different console if you sign in on that console.

You cannot unlicense it on your console and give the disc to a friend for example.

No it doesn't remove the liscence from the original when you transfer to the new console. However should the original console have any of those items deleted then you lose the liscence to that item on the old console. So keep that in mind when you do the
transfer to the new one.

HI, I had an old account that was hacked enabling two step verification, which pretty well stops me from doing anything... The gamer tag on it was zecheriah619 the items I need refunded are any and all call of duty dlc maps and or packs/skins... Customer
service told me you would be able to help... The refund can occur so that this account can redownload this important content... Thank you
