  1. Do I have to redownload a game if I have the same license?


    I’m going to switch accounts and I have basically the same games on both profiles, but what happens to the downloaded games? If I have the game downloaded from the previous main profile for the Xbox, when I switch the main profile do I have to redownload the game?

    :)

    Do I have to redownload a game if I have the same license?

    Hi there Samuel, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    Don't worry, if you use the same game installation for both accounts and both accounts have the game purchased, you should be able to play it without any issues on both profiles without the need to download the game again.

    I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

    Kind regards,
    Gerardo.

    Fruit Ninja full version on my profile, but demo-only on the kids' profiles??

    What I meant was your account would only be able to access the game while it is signed into Live because your account is the account that purchased the game. If the licenses were not transferred, you would not be able to access the game while offline.

    Also, when you do a license transfer, you do have to redownload the content after you do the transfer. It actually redownloads the licenses to your console. So that may fix the issue, like others have said.

    License Transfer failed, still got the four month timeout.

    after license Transfer you have to "redownload" the games you intend to Play to update your license, did you do that afterwards?

    What order should I transfer my tag from old xbox to new

    You can really do it either way, but part of the license transfer does involve having to redownload all of your content. If you do the data first, it won't take long to redownload since you'll only be redownloading the licenses. But you could also do the
    licenses first and just redownload everything all at one time.
