XBox Family - Digital Purchase Sharing Needs an Overhaul.

Purchases from a family manager should be shared to family members. My kids have their own XBox systems and I have my own. Digital purchases should be able to be played on any "Family" Xbox without me signing in, provided the game is not currently being played. It should be a license check-in / check-out process and only for devices on the same LAN. Consider the following requirements to enable this level of sharing.

• User can toggle between traditional Xbox Sharing (what exists today) or Household sharing; requiring all Xbox systems to be on the same LAN and all profiles to be pert of the Family group.
• "Home" Xbox is defined, this could be used to determine xbox system lan requirement or maybe act as the license server.
• Kid1 profile on Kid1 Xbox requests access to digital game.
• Kid1 Profile is a member of Family Profile
• Digital game license is not in use by "Home" Xbox or "Kid2" Xbox/Profile
• Kid1 Xbox detects "Home" Xbox on local LAN.
• Digital game is not content restricted by Kid1 family profile.
• Digital game begins playing for Kid1 Xbox on Kid1 Profile.
• While Kid1 is playing digital game, Kid2 requests same digital game.
• Kid2 Xbox detects Home xbox, but number of digital licenses is 1 and number of licenses in use is 1 (on Kid1 profile/xbox). Access to Digital game is denied. (License in use - purchase an additional license option)
• Kid1 quits digital game, license is checked in (0 in use)
• Digital game can be launched on another family xbox/profile.
• License checkouts should be for a maximum of 24 hours before they need to be renewed to help alleviate errors that might occur during check in.
