    when we insert a game cd into the xbox drive a message pops up saying

    We need to read the license, check to see if dirty or scratched, this is happening with almost all games we put in. It sometimes happens over and over and over, sometimes it will just start up a game no problem. Cds are not dirty or scratched

    Uninstalled the games, wait a while then install them again, the problem should resolve that way!

    Hi there Burns,

    Thanks for replying to keep us updated on the issue. I noticed that you stated that you stated you get the message asking if you owned the game/held the license was only happening with some games that you are trying to put in, but not all. Are these Xbox
    One games or Xbox 360 games, or both?

    On the off chance that the ones that are affected are 360 games, you may wish to try re-downloading your profile in the 360 emulator portion of the Xbox One to see if it refreshes the licenses. You can access that area by launching any 360 game (in this
    case, you may wish to do so with a digitally downloaded one), and when the 360 logo appears, press the View & Menu buttons on the controller (2 small buttons in the center) for a few seconds. This should prompt the 360 Guide to appear. Once it does,

    remove your profile, then re-download it to the console
    , then attempt to launch your disc game.

    Let us know the results and we are awaiting your reply. I hope this helps a bit more.

    Got it! It means that there is already a problem with the disc reader of the console since this is now happening to all your games. Unfortunately, when it comes to hardware issue, your console would already need repair if you still want to have the disc reader fixed.
