Account migration licenses lost

Tried removing and reinstalling, still doesn't work

Also tried on a new computer, still shows demo

Hi Christopher,

That seems to have fixed it. Am using the Windows 7/8 Java launcher and had it on 2 PC's that I use for playing (one for LAN/desktop and one on my Surface PRO). Reinstalling the launcher didn't fix it but logoff/login fixed on both. Thank you kindly for the help!!!

Hi there Max welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Well try this!

If you have any other Launcher on your computer other than the one found on Mojang's official website you must first do the following:

1 - Delete the Launchers that exist on your computer that are not official Mojang;

2 - Restart your computer;

3 - Download the original software again and install:

If you don't have another Launcher on your computer or have already deleted:

1 - Open Minecraft Laucher;

2 - If you are already logged in, click on your image and Gamertag in the upper left corner of the screen and then on "Logout";

3 - If you are already logged out or not logged in to your account, delete all accounts registered in Launcher by clicking on the "X" next to each account;

4 - In Minecraft Launcher, enter the email and password of your Microsoft account!

If you have migrated the account to a Microsoft account, your licenses will carry over as well. We just need to use the correct Microsoft account where the Mojang account was migrated to.

1. There is no way to merge two gamertags.

2. Any Microsoft account can only have one gamertag associated.

3. Migrating a gamertag two a different Microsoft account will take over all digital purchases and subscriptions as they are bounded to the gamertag, not the Microsoft account. Any existing credits will not be transferred as they are bounded to the Microsoft
account.

4. When buying a new Xbox 360 the games being purchased with the migrated gamertag will still be available, but you should also consider to have the licenses transferred to the new 360 then. If course there is no transfer of save games possible.

5. There is a difference in the license models of the 360 and the One. In the 360 digital purchases are bound to the console and the purchasing gamertag. On the One they are primarily bound to the purchasing gamertag. There is no license transferring on
the One.

So in summary, there is unfortunately no way to have both gamertags merged. To migrate gamertag 1 into account 2 you have to get rid of gamertag 2 which means the games purchased by gamertag 2 could get lost if not transferred to the new 360 then, purchases
for the One will be lost anyhow by this. So for the One it would be best to have both accounts installed on the One and have the one set as home console for both accounts, so games purchased by any of the accounts could be played by both of them. For the 360
the licenses of both gamertags should be transferred to the new 360 so both accounts are able to play them.

But no merging of the accounts at all.
