License transfer trouble

Xvvior · Mar 29, 2014

I honestly think Microsoft doesn't think when they do things. So I have two xbox 360's in my home. One in my room and one in my living area. Well I recently did a license transfer from the xbox in my room to the one in the living area and everything was
fine. I might need to add that there are multiple accounts on each of the xbox 360's my account being on both because sometimes I like to play in my room or sometimes in my living room. Any ways everything was fine until one if my kids tried to sign in on
there account with the xbox that is I'm my room. They are not able to play any dlc for any call of dutys or border lands or any game that has in game content downloaded. My account is the only account that can play the dlc since I licensed transferred to the
xbox in my loving area. I'm really upset about this. I would like a solution. And fast .

You can try contacting support to see if they can get you access to the account or see if they will do the transfer (they can do it under some circumstances but I don't know if this will qualify).

There is no guarantee they can do either. You normally do have to have access to the account in order to do the transfer.

License transfer troubles

So yesterday I bought a new Xbox and I transferred my old stuff onto my new Xbox hard drive but I can't use any of the downloaded items and the account that I downloaded them on I do not have access to as the parental e-mail address and password are not
correct and the Xbox terms of use need to be accepted before the account can connect to live, so what I'm asking is, is there a way to transfer licenses without having live access? Could a Xbox worker do it from the other end of a phone or am I going to have
to buy over 12500 ms points worth of stuff again?

Licenses for games can only exist on one console at a time. When you transferred the licenses to the living room console all of them moved over there so anyone can play and use the content at any time.

The console in your room can access the content only by your account or by others so long as your account is logged in to the console.

Homegrown-Silky - On their Digital Rights Management Page on their site, they list specific instructions on how to License Transfer for the purpose of sharing games.

1. You shouldn't be bumping posts from 6 months ago.

2. You can use it to share games on other consoles in your own house but sharing with friends living elsewhere is a bannable offense. You don't have to believe it but there has never been sanctioned game sharing with friends except for the loaning of physical
discs. Remember the announcement of the introduction of game sharing with the Xbox One. There were all sorts of requirements that had to be met in order for this to work but the internet freaked out over it and it has not happened as a result. This never
was a policy for the Xbox 360. It has never been a feature and there is nowhere on that page that mentions game sharing with friends.

You will find this though "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". That is what the license transfer tool is for. Nothing else. People
get banned for marketplace theft/fraud for this offense. As an ambassador, you should know better.

Afraid not.You can perform a license transfer once every four months so you will have to wait until the four months has passed.support.xbox.com/.../download-content

Signing in on an account that isn't yours is against the TOS. Using the License Transfer tool to share content is also against the TOS and can be seen as marketplace theft/fraud and can lead to all accounts and consoles involved being permanently banned
from Xbox Live.
