So when you purchase content on Xbox, you're given 2 licenses: 1 is an account license and 1 is a console licence. The account license means you can sign into any console you want and play the content you purchased. The console license allows you to share
the content with other people on your console as well allows you to play offline. The Home setting is what allows you to move that console license in the event you buy a new console or you have multiple consoles in your home and want to share on a specific
console.

If you set his console as your Home, your console will just your non-Home console. You will still be able to play on your console exactly as you do now as long as you are signed into Live. Your son will still be able to play on his console exactly as he
does now, but he will now have access to that game you bought (as well as any other games on your account and/or gold subscription if you have one).

If you were to change the password on your account, you would only need to sign in and change it on his console if you were signing in to use his console. As said earlier, you can sign in, set his console as your Home, and then remove your account from his
console completely if you wanted to. Any updates you make to your account as far as passwords, billing information, etc. would have no effect on him.

I do not understand this home console concept. If I make his my home console then what is my console ? What is the relationship between the two consoles? If my console is turned off does he get access to the games . If I changed my password on my microsoft
account I know I have to change it on my Xbox to get updates to happen. I also would then have to change the password on his xbox as well is that right?
