Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition "Unlock Full Game" (License Issue?)

JadenLeRed · Apr 17, 2020

If you've searched on google, you know about this problem. I have not found a fix, and this is unacceptable.

This year, I built a new computer. I moved stuff off of my old PC to a new drive on my new one. Next, I try Java Edition. No problems. Not a thing.

Then, I tried Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition. Nope. No Creative Mode, no signing in, no USING IT FOR ANYTHING THAT I GOT IT FOR...

I did actually redeem a code that I got on the mojang website (That no longer exists/Redirects to minecraft.net) about 3-4 years ago, so there aren't going to be any history of this shown of my Microsoft account purchase history stuff anywhere. On either
account. Yes, more than one account. Yes, there is a reason. And also not.

My Dad (Around 10 years ago) made me an XBOX Live Gamertag (On the xbox 360), called "JadenQuinn". Then, for some reason, I was dumb back then and he didn't tell me that E-Mail and other stuff is actually included with that Gamertag (AKA MSFT Account). So
I went and created a new Microsoft account, "*** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***". Take note of the extra "8". The older account doesn't have an 8 in the name. Maybe because I was 8 or something, I can't recall now. It's been too long.

But, I know that I redeemed that code I got from Mojang.com, and I redeemed it on the Microsoft Store on my old PC! It worked for years......

Until it didn't.

When I upgraded from that very PC. Now MCWin10 just tells me to purchase the game AGAIN, but this time spend more on a starter pack!

I'm not going to spend more money than I have to to play a game that I already rightfully own. I should be able to play it already.

I still have no way to play, and I haven't had a way to play since this year started. But, I still want to try out the new RTX **** they hyped today, and it's SUPER ANNOYING (Get it? 2070 Super...? No? Ok I'll shut up now) to not be able to play a cutting-edge
feature on a cutting-edge new PC.

Please.... Help....

I only have 2 accounts/emails. Neither of them work to make me able to play the game in full again.

I had a code 4 Years ago that I got from the Mojang.com website, but that code is probably long gone by now, since that website just redirects to the minecraft.net website now.

Thanks for any help you may give!

Hi JadenLeRed,

Your best option is to find the email accounts that you previously loaded Minecraft on, If you had previously loaded the game on that older email, then it should definitely still allow you to play the game. Also, Please note before you try downloading and
installing Minecraft windows 10 edition, sign up for the xbox insider program on your PC, and make sure to select the Minecraft RTX beta under the settings.

Also on your microsoft store, you need to be signed in with the account you were previously on.

I have bought minecraft v1.2.11 windows pc edition but cannot unlock it on another home device I own . After downloading, installing it when I try to unlock full game it give the above error code and says "Looks like you already own this" "Go to my games
or my library on your home device to download it. "PUR-UserAlreadyOwnsContent"

Same here. Redeemed paid version of Minecraft Windows 10 edition from Xbox one. Now pushed to a new device that is recognized on MS account, and it appears to be installed, but after hitting "play", the "full game" will not unlock.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

Just a friendly reminder though Minecraft on Windows 10 PC and Minecraft on Xbox is indeed both bedrock edition, however, for the license it's different which means if you would like to play it on your PC, you will be needing to buy the license of the game "Minecraft for Windows 10"
