My live/gold account works but my kids doesn't

My gold/live account will allow me to play any game on our xbox one. My son's will not let him onto Black Ops 2 and just tonight Rocket League. Nothing has changed with his account except he cannot use Live on these 2 games now. I used the online chat help
and she told me to change settings to allow all content, which I did. Still doesn't work and she wasn't much help as she didn't know what any of the screens looked like as 'they've changed so many times'.

His and my Gold accounts were renewed in February. We had an xbox 360 and everything worked fine. This xbox one is not functioning correctly. When we try Rocket League with his account takes him to a purchase Gold screen, in Black Ops 2 it states 'the current
profile is not allowed to play on xbox live' as to which the Activision website says you need Gold (no joke!).

Things tried, multiple times in different orders:

Reloading profiles

Reloading games

Restarting

Changing permissions

Verifying network status

Verifying gold account

2 Xbox ONE consoles in one house. How do I buy games for both consoles and with out buying 2 disk?

I found a workaround that lets my kids use my games on their Xbox, while I can still play the same games on my Xbox, even play Halo 5 Co-op with my kids on their Xbox (1 kid at a time for Halo 5, both kids for Halo 1-4), and me on my Xbox. Note, I have the only Live Gold account in our household. It's not the preferred solution for this (Yo, Microsoft, Family Gold Subscription, please!), however it works very well for 2 Xbox One consoles. Here's what I had to do...

(My Xbox)
1. Settings - Personalization - My home Xbox
- I removed my Live Gold account from "My home Xbox", leaving no account set for this.
2. Settings - Account - Sign-in, security & passkey
- Set my Live Gold account for "Instant sign-in"
3. Settings - Power & Startup - Turn off or restart - Restart now
- Rebooted Xbox for settings to take effect.

(Kids' Xbox)
I have my Gold account and the regular accounts for my wife and kids set up to login.
1. Settings - Personalization - My home Xbox
- Using my Gold account, I selected "Make this my home Xbox"
2. Settings - Account - Sign-in, security & passkey
- I set one of my kids' accounts for "Instant sign-in".
3. Settings - Power & Startup - Turn off or restart - Restart now
- Rebooted Xbox for settings to take effect.

My Xbox now has no account set with "My home Xbox", but since it has my Gold account set for Instant sign-in, it will still automatically have access to the games, movies, and other content. However, it won't automatically install purchased games, but that is easily remedied by accessing "My games & apps" from the Xbox home screen, where I will see newly purchased games under the "Ready to Install" section where I can easily install them.

A Live Gold account can only have one Xbox selected as its "home Xbox", however, on that home Xbox, all other accounts that sign-in will have access to the content purchased by the Gold account. This is what allows my kids to access my Gold account content on their Xbox. In addition to the "home Xbox", any purchases made by a Gold account will follow that account to any "non-home Xbox" where the account is logged-in. Since my account is still set for "Instant sign-in" on my Xbox, my purchases are always available, unless I log out. Other people can still login to my Xbox and use the content I have purchased, as long as my Gold account stays logged in, too. If, for some reason, I login on my Kids' Xbox, it will log me out on my Xbox, but I just log back in when I am done playing with my kids on their Xbox. This let's me play Halo 5 Guardians in Co-op mode with me logged in on my Xbox, and one of my kids logged in on their Xbox, which has access to my Gold account content, because that is my "Home Xbox". So far, I have not encountered any complications with this setup. If I do, I will amend my post here.

Good luck! I still have not found a way to share content across three Xbox consoles simultaneously, however, this does work for two consoles, even if they are not in the same location. I have also been told that some cablemodems and broadband routers may have trouble with two Xbox consoles accessing Xbox Live games simultaneously from the same residence, but I have Comcast Xfinity Internet service using the WiFi gateway they provided (Cisco DPC3941T wireless gateway/router), and I have not had any trouble playing Xbox Live games on both consoles at the same time.

Share Xbox Live Gold from Xbox One to Xbox 360: is this possible?

Hi.

Is it possible to share an Xbox Live Gold with my kids on an Xbox 360? I purchased a 12 month Live Gold membership on the Xbox One. Family sharing works fine on the Xbox One, but on the Xbox 360 only I have Live Gold and my kids do not. I have tried
looking in the account settings but haven't been able to find anything to enable sharing of the Live Gold membership on the 360.

Any ideas?

Thank you..
