    Playing Dowloaded Game with my kids on multiple computers


    I purchased Age of Empires Definitive Edition on my computer and my kids cannot play it on their accounts even though they are under my Family account. Because I have an Xbox 1 and an Xbox 360 as well as a couple computers I don't want to lock in any
    one of them as the "Home" console. My home has multiple consoles between the computers and the two xboxes. I'd like two things:

    1. Allow my kids to play the game under their accounts.

    2. Play the game against each other on a couple computers. (only within my family who we bought the game for)

    :)

    Hi WGWhite,

    Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums, I'd be happy to answer that.

    Unfortunately, game license sharing is not the same on Windows 10 as it is using the

    Home console
    feature on the Xbox One. Since this game is only available on PC, you cannot share the license using a Home console feature. However, I think there is a similar method to allow you to share a game license on multiple PC's with your Family account.
    I believe the Family account sharing on Windows 10 was supposed to be implemented on Xbox but that idea was replaced with Home console for Xbox One. Here is a quote from a reddit thread with this solution:

    "Game sharing on the Windows 10 system (digital downloads only through the Windows 10 app store) works like this.

    You can have up to 10 devices being used.

    All the accounts you want are to be attached to your FAMILY, so an adult needs to add the accounts into it.

    Now all you need to do is add each account you want to have access to each device.

    Now they will be able to share there purchases across that device, as long as the account that has been ADDED to that device ( basically at least signed in once). You may also need to download the game/app on that account. Once that is done you can swap
    to the other account (thats in the FAMILY) and then when you go to the App store in the other Family account you should be able to go to the product, and see it as INSTALL, not purchase.

    Thats it.

    Side note, you will not be able to be signed into 2 devices at the same time for sharing a game."

    The description is a little hard to follow but I think you want to make sure the account that owns the game is added to all of the PC's that are going to be used and make sure that same account is signed into the Microsoft Store app. Then, your child accounts
    can be added to those PC's and I think at that point they should be able to download the game from the Store app.

    Give that a try and see if it works.

    multiple kids want to play

    Hiya, Amy!!

    Paul from Xbox Forums Team here to assist with the situation, it looks like we just want the kids to be able to play together while one of the children is at their friends house. This is possible using one Xbox live gold subscription and two different accounts.
    It's possible due to our amazing benefits of Gold Sharing. When one account has an Xbox live gold subscription you can share that subscription with one console. Here is a guide about

    gold sharing
    and how to proceed. Hope this answer was able to solve the problem. Thank you.

    Happy Gaming!!

    Elder Scrolls Online will lock-out people with used or rented copies.

    so what if you have a family of kids and multiple xbox ones in the home, sorry but i don't justify buying multiple copies of the same game for one household of my kids.
