Redeemed a Microsoft digital code to the wrong account

DavidLockling · Dec 8, 2018

I redeemed a code for Forza 4 Ultimate using my microsoft account. I was assuming that the program would be accessible by my child under their login on my PC. But the comments on a previous thread ( Ruscito-9F68E205-30B2-4834-943B-C2CA8DBCD141) has left
me in doubt. The question is this. If I install it under my login will my child be able to use the program under their login on the same PC? I prefer not to let my child use it under my login on the PC. Or... do I have the option of letting my child use
the program on the XBox under my login?

I'll work on it later. Thanks.

Hey there David,

If you have the Game purchased under your account you can always take advantage of the game sharing feature on the Xbox One. If your son has a Microsoft account you can set

Home Xbox up under your account so that he can play your games under his account. Give it a shot!

I hope this helps.

Hey there David!

That's a great question.

Now the information that was previously posted would let your child play with his account information on the console but you would need also to be streaming the game rather than playing it straight off of the Xbox App.

I would suggest enabling game streaming, so you can play your game remotely from your PC off of your console after setting up that Home console. For more information on game streaming check out our page entitled

How to use game streaming in the Xbox app on Windows 10

Hope this information was helpful.

Thanks!

You can if you do game share.

We purchased the game thru an Amazon account and redeemed under my account.
