    Can only access minecraft Java Demo despite multiple purchases


    Since migration to microsoft accounts, I have not been able to play Java edition. The launcher indicates I need to re-purchase or play demo. I've emailed minecraft support and they said I have to contact microsoft support. This makes no sense. I've provided proof of purchase. I've tried all the remedies on reddit. Microsoft - please fix!

Please contact Microsoft Support and request assistance with your Microsoft account. They may be able to help you locating the correct email. It might help to refrain from requesting help with your Minecraft account and specify that you need help finding a lost account, as sometimes this can cause confusion and may result in the agent sending your request back to our support team. Thank you for your understanding.Minecraft Support, Keith F.[/td][/tr][/table]

    Can only access minecraft Java Demo despite multiple purchases

    I have emails indicating my migration to Microsoft was successful, so I believe the path is the second one provided. However, I have never been able to play after the migration. I only have microsoft accounts associated with 2 emails. I have never created any others. I can log in to both Microsoft accounts with emails that received the successful migration email, but neither of them have minecraft license showing. Again, I do not have any other Microsoft accounts.

    Hello sharonm3141,

    We understand that you are trying to play Minecraft: Java Edition and is unable to because of the message Demo Mode. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner for you to get back to gaming.

    Based on your description, you have reached out to the game support - Minecraft Help for assistance about the demo mode. As we can see from the conversation you have had with the support, you were referred to contact Microsoft Support for locating your account. May we know if you have multiple Microsoft account?

    Please use this website: Minecraft Login and sign into your Microsoft account.

    If not, do you mind asking your family members or people around you if the account was migrated to them instead of yours?

    Was your Microsoft account secured during the time you migrated your game license?

    Kathy- minecraft support informed me this morning they are closing my ticket without resolution. Is there someone I can speak to over the phone from Microsoft support to escalate this issue? Back and forth emails don't appear to be having an affect in getting me back to a playable status.

    Regards.

    Hello sharonm3141,

    Thanks for your swift reply.

    If the migration of the Mojang account to Microsoft account has been successful, have you tried using that email address you receive the email notification as the Microsoft account to Minecraft website and see if the license of Minecraft Java will show? Or is this the very same email you are having issues accessing with?

    Just to set your expectation, Microsoft account is managed by a completely automated server and we do not have manual access to it. Microsoft takes the security and privacy of our customers very seriously. We are committed to protecting your personal information, and the meticulous account recovery process is intended to protect you from any possible malicious activity. For now, please allow me to do the best I can in helping you with the process.

    May we ask what is the error message/code you are getting when you try to sign into the account?

    Is your account secured with alternate email address and phone number? Without the security information and use of all Microsoft services with the newly account there will be a slim chance of recovering it.

    We look forward for your reply.

    Regards,
