Old digital downloads on inactive account?

Helleri · Aug 12, 2014

I used to have a 360 some years back. I mostly play games on PC these days. But, my roommate has a 360. And, I remembered I had once bought fable to in these episode/installment deals. Given that it was a digital copy. If I were to put my profile onto his
xbox could I still download and play my old game purchase; Or would I have to get a new copy, being this far removed from when it was new?

Retrieving on old inactive gamertag?

You were given some bad information. The enforcement team does not monitor these forums any longer and you can't contact them directly. As for the old inactive gamer tag, you will not be able to use it until it is released by the system and some reports
say up to seven years after it went inactive.

Here is the link to the enforcement forums just FYI,

Retrieving on old inactive gamertag?

Hello, I was directed by xbox support to post here to reach the Enforcement Team. I'm wondering if there is a way to get an old gamertag that has no gamerscore and has an original xbox gamerpicture? A majority of original gamertags appear to be inactive
for a long period of time and it would be so cool if people today could put those gamertags to good use! The account name I would LOVE to have is "stargaze".

If you're able to recover the profile, you can do a license transfer and re-download your content.

You'll be able to access and redownload the game for free by heading to your download history. On the console go to Settings>Accounts>Download History

Also I don't think my old microsoft account was closed due to inactivity, I downloaded the dawnguard and hearthfire expansion packs for skyrim less than two months ago.

Starting last year, the policy is if a person does not sign into the account in 5 years, it will be released. Keep in mind that the tag system is in use on other Microsoft services. So even if it is not being used on an Xbox it could be in use elsewhere.
