    Do I have to re-download all content after license transfer?


    So I transferred my licenses to my new console, it told me that the service had registered the transfer but that for the transfer to work on the console, I would have to re-download my content. I have 110Gb of games and DLC, and I'm on a 250kb/s connection,
    do I really have to do that? Is there no other way to enable offline play for this content?

    :)

    Hello, question about content I have downloaded and Tranfered licences of. Do I have to re-download all content after license transfer? :)

    After doing the license transfer, you need to re-download all of the content in order to refresh the licenses to your new console. If the content is already on your hard drive, then the download will go really fast as it will only download the updated licenses.

    "Re-downloading" is part of the License Transfer. Until you re-download, you have not updated the licenses for your content. If the content is already on your console, "re-downloading" really just re-licenses it (and it is very quick).

    This is mentioned in the instructions:

    • Follow the instructions to transfer the content licenses.

    Do I have to re-download all content after license transfer?

    Yes. However, start with only a game or two that are already installed on your HDD: do not delete them first, but go to your purchase history, find them, and hit 'download' and it should only download a licence (approximate sizes a couple hundred KB). That
    licence is the only thing that needs updating, and once you have that you will be able to play them offline.

    Xbox 360 Help

    You can, if the content was first downloaded on that console after the purchase.

    If you switched consoles after the account purchased the DLC, that account has to sign in on the new console, and do a

    License Transfer
    , and then re-download the DLC again.

    With the DLC-owning account signed in on that Xbox 360 console, go to the settings hub on the far right of the dashboard, and then to "Account". There under "Your Billing Options" is the option to do the "License Transfer".

    After the License Transfer is done, you need to download the updated usage license of the Broken Stell DLC simply by re-downloading the DLC from the marketplace or your download history. If you still have the DLC on that console' storage device, it will
    simply download the tiny license file instead of the whole DLC.



    After the License Transfer and re-downloading the updated usage license, the DLC can be used offline again by any other account.
