If I have multiple Xbox live accounts on my xbox and I buy dlc on one of them will every one get the dlc?

Restoring DLCs from old Xbox One

Are you playing on the account that purchased the DLC, or are you playing on a new account that is game sharing with the account that purchased the DlC? If you are Game sharing with your dads account or the account that bought the DlC. Then you wont be able
to use any of the DLC. Game sharing/ Homing only allows you to play another persons games. It will not allow you to play the DLC. If you are playing on the same account that previously purchased the DLC. You should be able to go to Fallout 4 in the store and
re download the DLC with out paying for it.

I didn't receive the deluxe edition of Battlefront ii

The DLC is account based, so only the account that bought it has the licence. Although DLC should be game shared in most if not all cases, so if your sharing it should be. Are you referring to game sharing?

yes as long as those other accounts are on the console that downloaded them originally

Ok good but I have another question,

If I transfer both of my accounts to a new Xbox and I use the license transfer to put the dlc on my new one will my other account get it?

If you purchase a new console and move your content and licenses over to it then all gamertags will be able to access that content on the new console without having the need for the purchasing gamertag to be signed in.

Rodrigo, thank you for the quick response.

As I stated above even before we knew about the 'home xbox' setting it was sharing DLCs across accounts. It still shares the old DLCS, but is not sharing the new DLCs we bought in the last month to account B. We have two Xboxes and the new xbox has been tagged as Account As home, I want to play with account B on the old XBox which used to allows us all DLCs without it being the Home for account A.

If your friend comes over and downloads DLC to your console before he downloads it to any other console, your console gets the console license for the DLC. You're able to use the DLC on your console.

This is not against the rules, as long as your friend is the one who logs into Live and does the downloading.
