"Do you own this game or app ..." error with 2 xbox ones in same house....

I have 2 xbox one's with Halo 5 on each, both installed under my gamer tag (since we can't play split screen any longer). I'm trying to play coop with family members (or them with each other) but they keep getting the "do you own this game or app" error
about 1/2 the time we try to play. Getting it to work usually involves switching "My Home Xbox One" but I now we can no longer do that (says I can't do that 3 time per year... or something like that). I realize I can't be signed in to both consoles at the
same time but surely there is a work-around for this. I have nearly $1000 worth of recently purchased equipment that is unusable at the moment. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

"Do you own this game or app?"

I have a son, who I'm trying to restrict his game play to only certain games. We download all of our games online, and he has his own xbox screen name.

I set the content restrictions on his account, so when he tries to play something not authorized, it asks me for my pin. This works perfectly.

However, anytime he wants to play a game, we get the "Do you own this game or app? If you bought it online, sign into xbox live". The game will work, if I sign my account in, however I don't want to do that as now he has full access to all of the games
by just switching the profile.

What are my options here? I want my son to be able to play games that I've downloaded, but not have my account logged in. Is there a way to link his xbox screen name to my xbox live account, so he can play games without my account being logged in?

 

"Do you own this game or app?"

Hey there!

Thanks for the support messge!

It sounds like you own the games on your account. In order to share the games with your son or any other account on the console without you having to be signed in, you will need to set the console as your Home Xbox.

To do so, please double tap the Xbox button on the controller and scroll down to Settings>All Settings>Personalization>My Home Xbox. Be sure to click the "Make this my Home Xbox" option. Once done, sign into your sons profile and it should work now. Still
not working? Power cycle the console by holding the power button down on the front of the console for 10 seconds until it shuts off. Leave it off for about 30-60 seconds, then turn it back on.

The person who owns the digital copy of the game needs to be signed in on the Xbox which is not their "home" Xbox.

Me and my brother both have Xbox ones, he has the gold subscription this year so my console is his home console as well as mine, so when he signs in his console he is technically as a guest, but since the game would be on his account he has access. Since
my console his his home Xbox I also have access to his games and we can play together. The key is that whatever account owns the game other people can only play it if they are on that person's home Xbox. Hope this helps, good luck.
