Minecraft account migrated successfully, but launcher still asks to buy the game

Hello Alexandre Rousselon,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your Minecraft account. To better understand your situation, I have a few questions for you:



- Have you tried logging out and logging back in to the launcher with your Microsoft account?

- Have you checked if your Microsoft account is linked to your Mojang account on the Minecraft website?

Login here: Sign in | Minecraft

- Have you verified that your Minecraft purchase is registered on your Microsoft account history? Check your Check it here: Xbox purchase history | Xbox Support

- Are you using the latest version of the launcher and the game?

Download it here: Download Minecraft & Server Software | Minecraft

- Do you have any antivirus or firewall software that might be blocking the connection to Microsoft services?

Please try the following steps:



- Make sure you are using the same Microsoft account that you used to migrate your Minecraft account.

- Log out and log back in to the Minecraft launcher.

- Check your internet connection and firewall settings.

- Restart your computer and try launching the game again.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Have a great day!

Thanks Ricardo, but I downloaded the launcher and from the Microsoft store and used my migrated Microsoft account, but it is still telling me that I have to re-buy Minecraft.

Hello Lewcio , I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

Minecraft may ask you to change your username after updating the launcher due to several important reasons.

- Account Migration: Mojang, the company that develops Minecraft, has been migrating Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts, During this process, you may be asked to change your username.

- Username already in use: If your username is being used by another account, you may be asked to change it

- Launcher Update: Some Minecraft launcher updates may require you to change your username.

No not anymore. I had successfully migrated the account closed the window and when I went back to the launcher it wasn't working now it doesn't show that I own the game
