    DLC on more than one 360 - Will changing the DRM license scupper the content on my original ...


    Hi.

    I have a 360 that stopped reading discs, I bought another console but I'm now worried that if I alter the DMR on my original console (which I'll be sending off for repair soon and when it comes back I'll be using it in my bedroom) will it scupper the DLC on
    my new / current (i.e. 'working') console?

    I guess what I am asking is can all my DLC be available on both consoles?

    Thanks.

    :)

    cant find my downloaded arcade games

    Since you got a new console, you'd need to do a license transfer
    http://xbox.com/drm


    If you're using a different profile than the one that originally downloaded the content then you'd need to have the original profile on the console and run the license transfer through that.

    DRM Transfer, what happens to content on original console?

    No once the drm transfer is complete the original console can only use the content while the purchasing gamertag is signed into live at all times

    This remains in effect for 120 days You only receive 2 licenses a gamertag license and a console license Only one copy of each A gamertag license can use the content and redownload it at anytime but if not the purchasing console or the drm is transfered then
    it must be connected to live to use the content The console license only applies to one console at a time and can be used by all profiles without the original gamertag being on the console

    DLC on more than one 360 - Will changing the DRM license scupper the content on my original ...

    This link has good info on how content/DRM licences work on 360:
    http://Xbox.com/DRM


    Essentially it is like this:

    The console where you downloaded the content first has the console licence. The purchasing profile has a profile licence.

    The console licence means that any player on the console can play the content, either online or offline. The profile licence means that this profile can play the content on any other console - provided it is connected to Xbox Live.

    The profile licence is non-transferrable; the console licence can be transferred, but can only be on one console at a time and this process can only be done once every four months.

    In the settings, it is this console licence which can be transferred. If you do this, all it means is that the console you're using can play the content online OR offline, using whichever profile you choose, and when you get the other console back you will
    NEED to be using the purchasing profile AND be online for the content to be playable, but it will still work as normal if you fulfil those criteria. So your DLC will be available on both consoles, but on one of them it will only be to your profile whereas
    on the other it will be available to all.

    I hope this information helps; let us know if you have any further questions.

    Connecting my downloaded games to my child's account

    Licenses work a little differently on the 360 than on the One. Is the 360 the same console you originally purchased the games on? If not, you would need to perform a license transfer in order for that console to have all of your game licenses so your child
    can play the games. http://xbox.com/drm

    Is Microsoft (or the account owner) capable of doing a precision license transfer?

    Hello Kaiser Kamikaze,

    The way license transfers work is let's say XBL Alpha is the main account with 4 DLC's and then you go out and buy another console for your child so he creates an account on his Xbox and wants the 4 DLC's you have obtained. What he can do is download your
    profile and license transfer those 4 DLC's so now he is able to acquire and play with those 4 DLC's.

    The way you get an Xbox 360 License for the content you pay for is automatically obtained when you download that content.

    However, there is a license restriction on what you can and can not license transfer. Such as, Movies and TV shows.

    Content licenses are stored in the Xbox 360 console rather than in the Xbox Live account.

    You can learn more about Xbox Live's DRM or Digital Rights Management by following this link:

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


    You can license transfer once every 4 months, but if your account is on 3 Xbox's or over you will not be able to download it to another Xbox360 unless you remove all profiles from every Xbox via Xbox.com

    Answering your question more precisely, Microsoft can not transfer your license. That is your job via profile download.
