    Transferring a game i just bought from one account to another.


    I have two Microsoft accounts, one I use for work, one I use for gaming. I just accidentally bought a game on my work account and would like to transfer it to my gaming account. The game was bought on sale, and that sale ended last night so a simple refund
    and then re-buy will cost me more money. Can any one help me out?

    :)

    Good day

    Transfering digital games between 2 accounts will not be possible.

    Only way of getting it on the other account is when you request a refund and purchase it on the other account.

    Game sharing is also a possible way of playing the game on the other account.

    Sorry you can't transfer game licenses across accounts. One option for you is to get a refund and then wait for it to go on sale again. Another option is to make your console as home console for your work account temporarily, and then login with your main
    account and play the game.

    You cannot transfer to another account, but you can share your games with another cosole if you sig into your account in the other console.

    When you purchase content, you receive a licence to use that content. The licence has two parts: the system licence and the local licence. The system licence applies to the gamertag that purchases the content, and the local licence applies to the console
    where you first downloaded the content.

    Transfer content licences

    You can transfer content licences from one console to another once every four months.

    If your console was recently repaired, or if you’ve purchased a new console, use the licence transfer option on your console to transfer content licences. Here’s how:

    1. On your console, sign in to Xbox Live using the gamertag that you used to purchase the content.
    2. Go to the Settings and then select Account.
    3. Go to Your Billing Options, and then select Licence Transfer.
    4. Follow the on-screen instructions to transfer the content licences.
    After the licences have been transferred, you need to download the content again to update the local licences. This way the content can be used by other profiles on your console and when you’re not connected to Xbox Live.
