    Preview game licensing issue


    That would be an option but a logistical nightmare I would guess, the flood gates would open and everyone who shares this issue would be hammering at the doors requesting the same thing. I don't see it being so long before the update goes public to be honest.

    On a personal level I am sorry this has been such a major issue for you but there's nothing that can be done.

    With regards to the support reps not being fully aware of exactly what issues the preview can and does cause perhaps that's something that the guys over on support and the preview team need to work on, there does at times seem to be a lack of communication
    between certain areas of the Xbox support system that could be improved upon.

    Having looked back through this thread are we barking up the wrong tree here ? You say you may as well quit the preview, does that mean that the Xbox you are having the issue with is a part of the preview ?

    If that's the case and you run the preview dashboard app, select the Registration option, is the Xbox enrolled into the Latest preview update or a previous preview? It may be as simple as enrolling for the latest preview, that will take a day or two to go
    through but will then enable those games to be playable.

  3. I get that a lot of people would be wanting the same solution. Almost like actions have consequences. When you screw up, you pay for it. Unless you are microsoft. Then you just tell customers they can play the games you paid for, at an undisclosed date.
    But don't worry, it shouldn't be too long. As to enrolling the second xbox to preview, after seeing how the preview system works, I'll pass. It would also take 2 days, and there has not been any xbox employee who can even tell me if it would work. On top of
    all this, I cant even get an iota of help from xbox on why I cant post anything on the preview forum. 2 different reps have failed to call back or respond to email after assuring me they would check back with me. This hasn't just been one issue. It's a series
    of mistakes by xbox that all go back to a lack of communication and follow through.

    I appreciate all the attempted help from other gamers!!!!! I just wish the now 4 support reps I have talked to were as informed or cared as much as you guys.

  5. Just got an email trying to help me with the preview forum. Unfortunately they require me to use twitter to get support from xbox. Huh? Don't have a twitter account and don't want one. So far I have been told I must post on an open forum, and now tweet to
    get help. Maybe next they will send me to yelp!!

    For the umpteenth billionth time, it didn't work. The links are correct, but it say group not found when I use them.

    You can play those games on another xbox one console only if the other xbox one console is also in the preview program. Take a look at this link

    forums.xbox.com/.../2167620.aspx
    If you cannot access it then you will have to ask a member of support to grant you access to the early access xbox one forums.

    I also spent 2 hrs text chatting with a rep on my console while all he wanted to do was tell me it was because I had the home xbox not set. Even though I told him 4 times it definitely was. It took me calling this morning to fibd out it is a licensing issue.
    Add the issue of nkt being able to post on the preview/ early access forum, and the 40 min I spent with a rep trying to get it to work, and I'm just a little frustrated with the process customers must go through to get a problem resolved.

    Preview game licensing issue

    Xbox support should be aware of such an issue. They are aware there is an issue, but not what it is, or what the solution may be. They are the ones saying there is no license attached to the purchase. There words not mine. Again, if you can't play it on
    a different console, it's not licensed. Also, if you know where it says all of this, please point it out to me. I've read everything I can find on the update, didn't see a word about it. Licensing is an all or nothing item. You have one or you don't. Other
    people are having problems with license agreements even on the system they purchased games on. On top of tgat, I have 3 groups of friends who game share and are having no problems with licensing at all. Games they bought since the update work just fine.
