    DLC question

    Are all the profiles on the same xbox?

    If they are, it wont matter which profile you DL it under. If they are on different machines, you will need to use your kids machine to DL.

    DLC is linked to both the machine and the gamertag. DLC can be played on all profiles on the machine that it was downloaded on without any issues.

    You can also move the hard drive to another machine and play it on that however, you can only do that if you connect to live with the profile that downlaoded the DLC. You cannot play DLC by this method without being connected to live.

    GAME DOWNLOAD

    [quote user="dottie2412"]Hi, My grandsons both got xbox 360 for xmas and they are in the same house, can I download the same game to both xbox or do I need to pay for the same game twice? I have a xbox live gold family and I have my profile on both consoles.[/quote]

    Xbox licensing works two ways: if your profile buys a game or DLC (DownLoadable Content, like a map pack add-on for a game), you can access that content on any Xbox 360 console that is connected to Xbox Live, and on the first console you download it
    on any profile can access it. The latter is usually called the "console license" or "offline license", because the console and profile do not have to be connected to Xbox Live to access the game.

    Your situation is a little more complicated because there are at least three profiles involved: yours, and one for each of your grandsons (I'm assuming). If your profile buys a game and downloads it on Console A, any profile can play the game on that console,
    whether there's an Xbox Live connection or not. On the other one, Console B, the game can only be played when your profile is signed in to Xbox Live.

    Since you shouldn't be giving your grandsons access to your profile, one thing to do would be for Grandson A to buy a game first on the console mostly used by Grandson B. That way, when A goes back to "his" console, he can re-download the game and play it (as
    long as there's an Xbox Live connection), and B still has access to the game via the console license.

    Of course, the secondary accounts in a Family Pack can't have payment methods on their profiles, so they have to buy games with Points. They can get Points on their accounts by using codes from prepaid cards, or you can buy the Points on your profile and then
    assign them to the other profiles.

    It seems a little complicated at first, but it makes sense after you understand it. Sharing a single purchase across multiple profiles on two consoles can be achieved with some planning.

    I believe that on the 360, DLC can be shared among profiles on the same console, just not on Xbox One.

    for some reason i need another gold membership

    Ok first to explain it

    Lets call the primary account account 1 with gold and games and dlc

    And the second account account 2 that wants to play coop etc whatever

    Console 1 is the home console

    And console 2 is visiting console

    Console 1 Account 1 makes console 1 home and both account 1 -2 can use dlc and gamea and gold on console.1

    On console 2

    Account 1 must sign into live to use dlc and games at all times

    Account 2 does NOT have gold on console 2 as ita on console 1 you have a limit of 10 switches per year gamepass isnt shared only the gold part of ultimate is with one gold only one can be roaming

    Keep in mind an profile can only signed in on one place at a time so there Must be two profiles for them to play together

    xbox live does not work on second xbox

    Ya but not the way you like

    You have to.use the home.Xbox feature which can only be one console at a time

    Profile 1 with gold

    Profile 2 no gold

    Console 1

    Console 2

    Ok profile one has to.make.console 1 the home.console

    Profile 2 can ONLY use console.1 with gold

    PROFILE 1 can use console 1 or 2 or any console as long as you are signed into live

    So idealy you want profile 1 only use console 2 if you want both profiles to be used at the same time

    But profile 1 can roam.profile 2 can't play on any other console unless another profile.has home.console on that console

    That will change shortly with Xbox gamepass ultimate family plan once it releases right now it's testing in two countries

    There is a limit.to.home console.5 x a year
