    Why does the Minecraft launcher consider that I haven't bought the game even though I bought it several years ago ?

    Hi Lydia! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Minecraft game.

    Based on your description, the error suggests that the system can't find the Minecraft game license on your Microsoft account.

    Your Minecraft account must have migrated to the original Microsoft account email address where it was first created.

    In order to fix this, you will need to find the Microsoft account where your Minecraft was migrated and where your Minecraft game license was purchased.

    Kindly sign in to all of your Microsoft email accounts on account.microsoft.com > payment and billing > order history > select the date of range when you purchased your Minecraft game.

    From there, check if you have the Minecraft transaction. If you have found the transactions, use the same Microsoft account to log out and re-login to Microsoft Store and Minecraft Launcher.

    If you're unable to find the Minecraft game transaction, this means that you have purchased the game on a different account. Please check your other Microsoft email accounts' order history.

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl

    Lost access to minecraft after migration

    How do minecraft.net and launcher have anything similar? What I said is, I can't get access to the minecraft.net page as it says I haven't bought Minecraft even though I have and my Minecraft launcher has everything ok, except for the part that I can't login into my Mojang account because I think it was deleted

    The Launcher Says I Haven't Bought Minecraft

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    There are the necessary steps that we need to perform if in case we were asked to re-purchase Minecraft Java Edition after migrating:

    1. Please double-check you are logging in to the same Microsoft account you used to migrate your Mojang account.

    2. Make sure you are not logging in with your Mojang account. Migrated accounts will only be able to log in with your Microsoft account.

    Once confirmed, kindly sign out then restart your PC before signing back in.

    Why does the Minecraft launcher say Buy now instead of play, even though I bought minecraft?

    2 days ago I purchased Minecraft for PC, the order went though my microsoft account and it was working. I was able to play just fine and everything worked. Today, when I tried to play the launcher just says "buy now" instead of "play" even though I am logged into the account I bought it on and played already. I have tried uninstalling the launcher and reinstalling it, logging in and out, and restarting my laptop. Nothing has worked and I still can't access the game.
    Same problem, although I bought bedrock in 2019, and now, it's acting like I never bought it. It als odid not want to give me java, and it gave me issues during the migration. Now, I can't play either, despite buying the game in 2019. Support refuses to help me, and I cannot get any help because they have removed that option from me.
