if someone has a license on their console via a different profile will deleting the profile ...

No. Licenses will only move via license transfer.

[quote user="Jameser78"]Please explain DRM. I'm not sure that that is.[/quote]DRM is short for Digital Rights Management. It is the License that is assigned with every purchase made via Online.

When purchasing any Content (Full Game or Game Add-ons) via Digital Distribution a License is applied to two Locations. The Profile/ Account that purchased the Content and the Console (Console ID) it was purchased on and first Downloaded to.

If one or the other does not exist the other can "vouch" for the missing License.

For example, if Content is still on the original Console ID that the Content was purchased on it does not need the Profile that purchased the Content to be on that Console and any Profile will have Access to that Content.

Now, if the Profile that purchased the Content is on a different Console ID it (Content) was purchased on it will require that Profile and that Profile only to have Access if the Profile is Signed-In to Xbox LIVE.

If no Connection to Xbox LIVE is possible along with not being on the original Console ID the Content was purchased on, neither License is present and the Content will not be accessible.

If the OP (or anyone else) is having a problem with Content and the License not associated with a Console ID they are trying to use while Offline, they will need to complete a License Transfer and Download that Content again (with the Profile that purchased
it to begin with) on the "new" Console ID. Content Game Add-ons will not Load to a Console without at least one of the above License. A Game Save File will not operate or Load with Content that has no valid License on either the Profile or the Console ID.

Hope that makes sense.

Actually you can genious pay attention to the last line:

Can I transfer content from one Xbox LIVE account to another?

No. Content licenses are stored in the Xbox 360 console rather than in the Xbox LIVE account.

To enable someone else's Xbox LIVE account to use your content licenses, you must download your Xbox LIVE profile and then transfer your content licenses to that person's Xbox 360 console.

•To download your Xbox LIVE profile to a different Xbox 360 console, see Download, move, or delete your Xbox LIVE profile.

•To transfer a content license from one Xbox 360 console to another, see Can I transfer a content license from one Xbox 360 console to another?

After you've downloaded your Xbox LIVE profile and transferred your content licenses to another Xbox 360 console, the content can be used by all the profiles on that console.

Just to make sure that I understand, are there two consoles that you are trying to access the content on? Any content you purchase gets a profile license (what allows your profile to access the content via live anywhere) and a console license (which allows
all profiles on that console access it). The second license is where the license transfers come into play. If you are trying to get a second profile access to content on a different console from where the purchase was made, it will not work (that's where the
license transfer comes in, to fix this). Keep in mind, you can only do a few license transfers a year, about once per 3 or 4 months.

Try deleting your profile first (profile only, not items!) and then recovering it. If that still doesn't work, try recovering it to a different console and move it to your console via USB device.
