Licence Transfer help

YsPz · Jul 2, 2015

Hello[=. I downloaded MW2 a while back to my other account on the Xbox I played on which is saved to my hard drive. I now have a different Xbox which is an older console I owned as I had to give the one I played on back because I was just borrowing it
for the time being. but the game won't launch For the account I'm trying to play on it with, which is the only account with gold I have. It is a different account from the one I bought the game with, but both are my accounts. I was wondering wether I could
just redownload it and that would work or would I have to Licsence transfer it from my account I bought it with. Could I be banned for this if I do have to License Transfer to my console?

:)

Transfer data question.

Hi, to transfer content licences associated with your console you must sign in to the console with the profile used to purchase the content. Once signed in go to Settings > account > billing options and select licence transfer following the on screen instructions to transfer the licences to the new console so other profiles can use the content. Content can not be transfered across profiles only across consoles - hope this helps

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. Since games on Xbox are most often tied to a licence with the account I would first try to licence transfer(Nothing you would get banned for). However if that does not work then you may need to use your other account
to access the game.

Did you get a new console or did your console get repaired?

For a new console, you'll have to transfer your content from your old hard drive to your new one. Or, go into your purchase history and download everything again.

License Transfers - New Consoles

Onto, the License Transfer! Once the above is taken care of, you still will not be able to access anything you purchased and transferred over. The reason for this is because the licenses for that content are still associated with your old console, and therefore
needs to be associated with your new console for playability.

You can transfer your content licenses to your new console by following these steps on the console you wish to transfer the licenses to:

Navigate to the Settings Hub and select Account.

Select License Transfer.

Carefully read the prompt and select Continue.

The License Transfer process can also be completed online here. Please be aware however that this process can only be completed ONCE EVERY 4 MONTHS

As said, this can only be completed once every 4 months, so DO NOT transfer your licenses onto a secondary console unless you wish that console to be the primary console to use your DLC.

The point of the license transfer is so you can play your content whenever you wish, whether that be offline or online. If you are on a console without the licenses, the account will not be able to use the content unless it is connected to LIVE.

Any console with the account that purchased the DLC will be able to access the DLC as long as that account is on the console, regardless if the licenses are on that console or not.

Any other profile that is on the same console as the primary account that purchased the DLC will also be able to access the DLC as long as the primary profile remains on that console.

License Transfers - Repaired Consoles

If your console comes back from repair, you do NOT need to transfer your licenses, as the support people who repaired/replaced your Xbox will have done that for you at the factory. This also will not count towards your once every 4 month transfer, so no
need to worry about that either!

"Content Assigned to other console"

So, you just got your console back or you bought a new console and you are trying to re-download your content and you are getting a message that says "content assigned to other console", here is what to do!

Reason - After NXE launched it made whatever console you first downloaded marketplace items on your primary console. This message means that any content you are trying to download is assigned to your previous console, despite the licenses being transferred.
The fix is quite simple.

1.) To fix the issue, go to the Marketplace and send something to your console queve, then follow the next steps to resolve the issue permanently.

Sign into your new console, or if you have more than one console, the console in which you are trying to make your primary console.

Send an item to your download queue.

Go to your active downloads. To do this, press the "guide button", then "marketplace", then active downloads".

Select the item and press "A"

Choose the second option, "download all items". Choosing this option makes this console your primary console and the problem will cease permanently.

Movies/TV Show Licenses

Please be aware that Movie and TV Show licenses that were purchased on the old console WILL NOT transfer over due to licensing restrictions. Please make sure you watch them if you wish to view them again before transferring your license.
