    Hi, I hope you're doing great despite the issue you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    I'm sorry but there is no option to transfer a game from one account to another. What we can do is change the primary alias of an account. Here you https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...

    Important notes are the following:

    "When removing an email alias that’s connected to a Microsoft domain (such as @Outlook.com, @Live.com, or @Hotmail.com), that email is completely deleted from our systems and can’t be used to send or receive emails. It won’t be available for use again as an alias on another account. Microsoft doesn’t recycle email addresses, so it can’t be reclaimed at a future time."

    "If it’s a primary alias, select a new primary before you remove the old one. To do so, select one of the other aliases that are on the account, and then select Make primary."

    Problem With Skyrim Add Ons

    Hey there Fang! When content is purchased on the Xbox Live marketplace, it is bound to the account that purchased it as well as the console it was originally purchased on. You'll need to make sure that your sister purchased all of those DLCs on the console
    where you're trying to play them. If she didn't, then you'll need to be logged into her account to have access to the DLCs.

    The first thing I would check would be which console she originally bought the content on. Then, once you confirm that you should be able to access the content (by either being on the original purchasing console or being logged into her account), you'll need
    to make sure that all the content is downloaded and installed. If you need to redowload it, you can use your download history, as Joey suggested. Here's the link again:

    support.xbox.com/.../download-content-history
    .

    There's no way to transfer ownership of content from one account to another. License transfers are used to transfer ownership from one console to another, not to transfer ownership from one account to another. For example: If you were to buy a new console and
    wanted to transfer the ownership of your content from the old console to the new console, you would use a license transfer.

    Transferring and moving games to a new account. Help pls :)

    Ownership of games, and other purchases, cannot be transferred between accounts.

    If the old account keeps the console as its 'Home Xbox' you will continue to be able to play them, and can make new purchases on the new account, but you cannot transfer ownership of the games over to the new account.

    I know this isn't the answer you want, but I hope the clarification helps.

    license transfer help?

    Hey there Toffee!

    Just to be clear, license transfers are not meant to be used for sharing content. They work for transferring ownership from one console to another, not from one profile to another. For example: If your brother bought the Dragonborn DLC then
    gets a new Xbox 360 console, he can use a license transfer to transfer ownership of the content to the new console. But it cannot be used to transfer ownership to your profile.

    If you are wanting to play the DLC that he purchased on his profile, you will need to be logged into his profile to do so.

    Are you logged into his account while trying to access the Dragonborn DLC?
