    Transferring profiles/consoles


    Miltiple questions all along the same premise. I used to own an xbox and skyrim for which I purchased all of the DLC on said xbox and profile. I sold it about a year ago for an xbox one, but I still have my profile. I found some of my old characters on a
    flash drive, but it says they're owned by an unknown profile. It says if I copy or move the file, I will become the owner, but when I attempt to do so, it says the item cannot be transferred between profiles. Also beyond that, as I said, I bought all the DLC
    for skyrim on this profile and as such can download it to the console, but I cannot use the DLC on any other profile like I should be able to since I did a liscense transfer. This is problematic because before recovering my profile on xbox live, I put 11 hours
    into a character and have had the luckiest of lucky drops, but do not have access to the DLC.

    TL;DR how do I switch a Skyrim character between profiles?

    :)

    Transfer data question.

    Hi, to transfer content licences associated with your console you must sign in to the console with the profile used to purchase the content. Once signed in go to Settings > account > billing options and select licence transfer following the on screen instructions to transfer the licences to the new console so other profiles can use the content. Content can not be transfered across profiles only across consoles - hope this helps

    Xbox 360 system transfer HELP

    So I shared an Xbox 360 console with a sibling and we each had our own profiles. So I purchased a new 360 Slim and wanted to take everything associated with my account on the initial console (profile, achievements, game saves) to the Slim.

    I transferred everything on a USB but although my profile and achievements transferred onto the USB and loads on the Slim, no game saves to be found.

    What can I do to harvest the game saves from the original console without causing problems to my sibling's account and content on the original system?

    Do I need to do License Transfer on all accounts?

    Yes. A license transfer will only transfer the licenses for the profile that performs the transfer, not the entire console.

    The order of the console ids on the transfer tool does not matter. It is just a list of all the consoles to which your profile has content currently licensed.

    When you start the transfer, it is the console that your profile is logged on to that will be the target of the transfer. Once the transfer is complete and you have redownloaded all the content then your licenses will only be on that console.

    License Transfer

    As these guys have said, it's not possible to license transfer a game from Profile to profile. You can only transfer from console to console. The profile you use to purchase the game will always have the game attached to it.

    Don't know what I should do

    The thing to remember is that if you used a 360 Transfer Cable to transfer your content to another console, only the profile that actually purchased the DLC will be able to use it on the new console eventhough any profile on the previous console was able
    to access it before. The way around it is to have the profile that purchased the content redownload it on the new console, eventhough it's all ready been transferred, after this step any profile on the new console will be able to access it again...:)

    On the xbox 360, if i get DLC on one profile, do the other profiles get it as well?

    Any profile will be able to access the DLC on the console that it was first downloaded on, or the console the licences have subsequently been transferred to.



    In addition the profile that purchased the content will be able to access the content on any console as long as they connect to Live in order to validate the licence.



    So, OP, yes your brother will be able to use the content as long as his profile is on the same console that you bought (or transferred) the content on.



    Licences can not be transferred between profiles, only consoles.
