  1. second xbox for family


    I purchased a second xbox so each child has his own. I want them to have separate accounts still under my family. Right now the xbox account is attached to me. How do I set this up, so they can download and play games without having issues?

    :)

    Hello Lisa,

    Thanks for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in setting up your children to have their own console where they can play the games that you have purchased. The Xbox One uses

    a feature called home Xbox
    . This allows a single account to share it's games and content. The article we provided explains more about the feature and how to set it up. If your account is already set up as the home console profile on one Xbox One, it cannot
    be the home console profile of a different console. Be sure to let us know the results!

    what you can do so that they can both play is set 1 Xbox as your Home, then on the other have it to auto sign you in but require a passkey for purchases then switch accounts to the child that is going to play on that console.

    this will let them both play at the same time without having to get a second copy of the games or subscriptions

    How to require a passkey for purchases

    1. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
    2. Select System > Settings > Account.
    3. Select Sign-in, security & passkey.
    4. Select Change my sign-in & security preferences.
    5. Scroll right and select Customize.
    6. Scroll right and select Ask for my passkey to make purchases.

    A passkey is now required to make purchases on your account. To turn this feature off, repeat these steps and select Passkey not required.

    Second XBox on Live Family Account

    @KTMRacr 0 I believe Jameser78 and ASAP Envy are incorrect... I have a Xbox in 3 different rooms in my house... Here is how you can download the profile to the new Xbox. You can download your Xbox LIVE gamertag to any console. Once you do that you should
    be able to go to your download history and re-download Minecraft on the other Xbox. Here’s how to download on the other console:

    1.Press the Xbox Guide button on your controller (large X button in the center of your controller).

    2.Select Download Profile.

    Note Not seeing Download Profile? Press X to sign out of your profile.

    3.Enter the Microsoft account associated with your Xbox LIVE gamertag. If you don’t know your Microsoft account or password, see Find your Microsoft account or password.

    Note “Microsoft account” is the new name for what used to be called “Windows Live ID.” It’s the email address and password you use to sign in to Microsoft services (including Xbox LIVE). Find out more.

    4.Now, enter your Microsoft account password.

    Note If your account is an Xbox LIVE child account, the parent’s Microsoft account information is required to download the profile.

    5.Select the storage device for your profile (for example, Hard Drive).

    Your profile will begin downloading. Once your profile is downloaded, you can choose whether or not you want to require your Microsoft account password to sign into your profile.

    Once there go to your Settings on the Dashboard>Account>Download History and re-download Minecraft.

    If a Mister or Misses can please verify, let us know.

    UrReMoTeCoNTRoL - That works to download the profile to another console (which the OP has already done), but it doesn't have any affect on what the OP is trying to do.

    @KTMRacr - As Jamesar said, content is tied to the gamertag that purchased it as well as the console it was purchased on. As long as your daughter is playing on the console that has the console license, you can sign into the other console and play the game.

    It's because downloaded content is registered to the gamertag AND console originally downloaded to.

    Only the purchasing gamertag can play it on another console, and only while connected to live.

    .

    You can either buy a new copy with another account on that console, or do a license transfer. The transfer will make it belong to that console, and should play problem free, but your original console would then need to be connected to live while you play
    it with your tag on there.
