How to transfer content from to a new account

I want to make a new account but I don't want to lose the data on my old one. Is it possible to transfer the data?

XBOX 360 E console versions and higher

Hi there,

in order to play DLC/Games bought by other accounts then the buyer account the Licenses of that content needs to be present on the console itself. When the license is on the console any other account should be able to use that content.

When a new console is bought, the thing you will need to do is to transfer the licenses to that new console, this has to be done by each account that bought any content you want to be used by other accounts on that console.

Be aware that licenses can only be transferred once every 3 months and you will need to redownload the content after the licenses are transferred.

You don't have to delete the content prior to redownloading it and redownloading it can be done via the Download history for the account that initially bought the content.

See this link for the steps on how to transfer licenses and redownload items from the download history:

See the section 'Can I transfer a content license from one Xbox 360 console to another?' on how to transfer licenses and 'How do I get licenses for content?' how to redownload the content/licenses.

question(s) about license transfer to new console

This should explain everything.

Can I transfer a content licence from one Xbox 360 console to another?

Yes, you can transfer content licences from one console to another once every four months.

If your console was recently repaired or if you’ve purchased a new console, use the licence transfer option on your console to transfer content licences. Here’s how:

1.On your console, sign in to Xbox LIVE using the gamertag that you used to purchase the content.

•Don't know your gamertag? See Download, move or delete your Xbox LIVE profile.

•Need to find your Microsoft account? See Find your Microsoft account.

•Can't remember the password for your Microsoft account? See Recover your Microsoft account password.

2.Go to Settings and select Account.

3.Go to Your Billing Options and select Licence Transfer.

4.Follow the instructions to transfer the content licences.

After the licences have been transferred, you need to download the content again to update the local licences. Then the content can be used by other profiles on your console and when you’re not connected to Xbox LIVE.

For information about how to download previously purchased content, see Buy and redownload content from Xbox LIVE.

The license transfer tool does not transfer content between accounts but rather to new consoles. No content can be transferred from one account to another. As long as content is on the console that it was originally downloaded to, it can be used by all
accounts on that console (with a small number of exceptions).

The license transfer tool transfers the licenses of your content from your old console to your new console. Like AdyCarter said, it does not transfer content between accounts.

Sorry, but nothing can be transferred between accounts. If the content is not working, or if you were to get a new console and can't license transfer from the banned account, you will have to repurchase the content.
