Where can you see the 25 digit number to do this? Or is that not what you do? Thanks

Gold on 360 and One

Hi all,

So the situation is this. My eldest had a 360 in his bedroom and younger two have one downstairs. Eldest has gold against his profile and one of my other lad has gold on his profile downstairs.

I'm buying Xbox one for Christmas to replace the 360 downstairs. I will put this against my profile and I've read that all profiles on the One can use the gold access. So far so good.

I've also read that this same live account running on the One can be used on another 360. So My question is, can my eldest son use my Xbox live gold on his 360 but against his gamer profile? I'm guessing not and to access live gold on his own profile he''ll need his own gold account?

Probably not described it very well but basically can we have just one gold account between a One and a 360 where only my eldest will use the360 with his own gamer profile.

Thanks!

Disconnected from Xbox live

I get disconnected from xbox live and a screen appears that says to switch profiles or upgrade to gold.

If by your question you intend "is it possible to pass the gold membership from one account to another?" the answer is "that's not possible". Yet with the xbox one home setting, you can gameshare and share the gold membership among other accounts as well.

P.S The 25 digit number serves to redeem a code (like prepaid credit or gold membership) to the account. Once that process is complete you can't pass the credit nor the membership to another account.

Thank you for your reply but I have attempted both of these suggestions and neither have worked.

I switched secondary xbox to primaries profile and set as HOME and switched back to secondaries profile and it did not have live.

The second account "don't have Live Gold" this is correct, but, can use Xbox Live Gold, have you tried playing online or any other activity Gold related?

You can't share a gold membership between accounts.You would have to buy another gold membership if you want to set up another xbox live profile.

This is more of the message, since it just happened AGAIN... "Upgrade to Xbox Live Gold. To instantly watch movies, TV episodes from Netflix on your Xbox 360 console, you need an Xbox Live Gold Membership. Upgrade to Xbox Live Gold Membership now. Now
with Xbox Live Gold you can (bulleted list)..."

Then there are two selection boxes: Upgrade to Gold and Switch Profiles.

We click Switch Profiles, and our Xbox Sign In page appears with our current account already logged in.

We select our account and can then resume our Netflix movie that we were watching.

What is going on?
