    "Do You Own This Game or App?" message even though I do own it


    Hi,

    Back two years ago when Fallout 4 was released, I bought the physical copy, which came with a redemption code for a free digital copy of
    Fallout 3 (which was originally for Xbox 360). So, today, almost two years later, I finally redeemed the code to get my free copy, and it worked--the game downloaded and installed just fine. When I look at
    Fallout 3 in the Microsoft Store, it says "You own this product" under the name, and there's a "Play" button instead of the usual "Buy" button, so I know the Store recognizes that it was "purchased" (for free via the redemption code of course).

    But when I try to launch Fallout 3, I get the "Do you own this game or app?" error message, which of course usually happens when you try to launch a game without the disc inserted, or when not signed in to the right account. But I do own
    the game and I am signed in to my account and connected to Xbox Live. So I shouldn't be getting this error message.

    Why is this happening? It's very frustrating, as there were no issues installing the game or redeeming my code. Is it something to do with the fact that it's an Xbox 360 title? I don't know why that would make a difference though. Can anyone shed some light
    on this? Thanks!

    :)

  2. Do you own this game or app message

    While playing the BF1 early access, I get the pop up asking me if I want to use my trial. I select "use trial", but the same message appears a few minutes later. This gets very annoying, as is pauses my game most likely causing me to mess up in game.

    Do you own this game or App message

    Sorry to hear it. Please try holding the power button on the console for 10 seconds until it shuts down to see if that helps

    Reset your xbox and uninstall then reinstall the game, that should do it...

    check to be sure you're designated as the home Xbox account on the console.

    Hi LuminaryFL,

    Thanks for the response. I'm sorry to hear the issue still persists. Just to confirm, was the game able to successfully install the first time? If so, I would recommend uninstalling the game and trying to install it again.

    There may be an issue with how the license is applied to your account since something is blocking the detection on the console that your account doesn't have the license. I'll try to get more information to see if others are having a similar issue.

    Let us know if you are able to re-install the game.

    Hi, thanks for your reply.

    I'm indeed connected to Xbox Live and signed into the correct profile. I have no problem running Game Pass games for example.

    I have tried hard resetting as you suggested but it didn't seem to resolve the issue.

    Is there anything else that can be done or someone to contact?

    Thanks
