    Cannot play games from arcade with different account


    I made my own Microsoft account when I upgraded from windows XP to 8. Someone in my family owns an Xbox so I downloaded my account to it but couldn't play Minecraft from the arcade when I was logged in with my account. It just said: This is only a
    trial, Would you like to unlock full? I don't know what to do.

    :)

  2. Custom skins?

    [quote user="ermac29"]

    He could have modded his account... The only skins are the ones available in the game right. Default Skins, Skin Pack 1 ans Skin Pack 2. That's it. You cannot link real Minecraft accounts with your Xbox Minecraft account. There is no option for this. He
    either had a different that is selectable or has modded. Those are the only 2 ways to have different skins. The first being legit

    Your forgot about the summer of arcade skin pack that features skins from this summer's arcade game releases.

    Cannot play game purchased from Arcade

    By "Arcade" I am assuming the Xbox 360 Arcade titles. Some of those were region locked yes. Changing the region on your Xbox One console will affect only the Xbox One titles, not Xbox 360. For Xbox 360 titles you need to change the region using this link.
    Sign in to your Microsoft account

    Keep in mind that you can change your region only once every 3 months when using this link. You might also lose access to some of your current 360 titles, subscriptions and apps, etc. All info is available on the link provided.

    Cannot play games from arcade with different account

    You'll need to do a license transfer to the new console then redownload the items from your download history. You can access the download history by going to Settings>Accounts>Download History on the console. There is no need to delete the game before
    redownloading it.

  5. What onyx62is didn't say, was make sure you do the license transfer with the account that originally downloaded the games, otherwise it still wont work.

    Transfer content to a different account

    Here is what the bottom line comes to. Nothing can be transfered from one gamertag to the next. DRM is transfering content, from the same gamertag, to a different console so it does not reassign it to a different console. Content from one gamertag can
    be used on another account except for some arcade games and avatar items but they cannot be fully transfered from one gamertag to the next.

    Minecraft Does not work on my xbox30 but It does in another one

    Minecraft cannot be installed from disc (it's an arcade game, and they cannot be installed from disc). Give the disc a clean with a soft lint free cloth and try seeing if you can play the game on the console. Hopefully that will help.
