  1. My license/key for Minecraft Java - invalid after my Game Pass ran out


    I had merged my Mojang account with a Microsoft account and played the game a year ago. I have owned it since 2015. After my one month of Game Pass expired, the launcher now prompts me to purchase the game again, and I have no access to the game in any way. My launcher shows my new Tag in the bottom right for player name, while the Java edition just lists "player". Reinstalled the launcher multiple times, logged in with my Microsoft account... nothing. Apparently I just "lost" my key/license for it after Game Pass expired.

    :)

    I would like to know is it possible to have 2 seperate accounts if its bought 2 times on 1

    Hi there Blet, my name is Gerardo and I'm an Xbox player like you. I'll be happy to help.

    If you have Minecraft purchased with your Microsoft account and you also have Game Pass Ultimate on the same account, unfortunately, it is not possible to have two separate licenses for Minecraft Java Edition. In this case, the only option would be to wait until your current Game Pass Ultimate subscription ends and then purchase the subscription on a different Microsoft account. This will result in having two separate accounts, each with its respective Minecraft Java license.

    I hope you understand.

    Best regards.

    I can’t use my Minecraft on a new device

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

    I'm sorry you're experiencing difficulties when trying to use your Minecraft Java edition on your new laptop. Account migration and license management can sometimes be complicated, but I will try to help you.

    Make sure you're using the correct Microsoft email address when you sign in to Minecraft Java Edition. If you created a new Microsoft email address during account migration, be sure to use that address and not the original one.

    Verifying Minecraft Java license ownership may be required to access the full version of the game on your new laptop. Check to see if you have any email or additional Minecraft Java license information that proves your ownership. If you have a product key or activation code, make sure you enter it correctly in the Minecraft Java launcher.

    Make sure you have downloaded and used the correct Minecraft Java launcher on your new laptop. The Minecraft Java launcher is the application that allows you to access the game. Verify that you are using the latest version of the launcher and that you have downloaded it from the official Minecraft website.

    Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.

    Can't launch Minecraft Java after migrating

    I tried this fix, unfortunately after logging out and restarting my computer my Minecraft Java Edition Launcher still said that I didn't buy the game and that I could only play the Demo version of Minecraft Java. Do you know another fix ?
