LICENCE

Hi,

There's little chance of Fifa Street. Why would that be I hear you ask? LICENCES. Sports games have licences, team licences, player licences, music licences and many other licences.

The problem is these licences expire. Notice that there is very little in the way of sports titles in BC? Well that's due to licences. It also explains why you can't buy the digital versions of these games on a 360.

When you purchase content, you receive a licence to use that content. The licence has two parts: the system licence and the local licence. The system licence applies to the gamertag that purchases the content, and the local licence applies to the console
where you first downloaded the content.

Transfer content licences

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.
   
2. Go to the Settings and then select Account.
   
3. Go to Your Billing Options, and then select Licence Transfer.
   
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to transfer the content licences.
   

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

you own a licence to play the game, this licence can change overtime at will, all games nobody owns you just own a licence for the game.
