Xbox One Account License Transfers

CGluch · Mar 15, 2015

So, I wanted to transfer my account license onto a new Xbox One, but I guess I've done it too many times recently. Is there a way to find out when I'll be able to transfer my account license again like on the 360? If there's not, I'd love it if they would
put that feature into a future update.

Does a license transfer got to my account or to my xbox?

License transfers transfer the licenses to the console, not the account.

Hey there, as I understand the Xbox One works a little differently to the 360 and the licenses are attached to your gamertag and not the console itself, so whenever you download your gamertag onto another Xbox you will able to download and play any previously
purchases and the Xbox will sync everything with the cloud.

I'm getting my information from a feedback post here:
xbox.uservoice.com/.../6652205-xbox-one-license-transfer-for-games-like-360

Though I couldn't find any official support articles either which tells me there is no license transfer option on the Xbox One.

You can only change your Home consoles 3 times in a year. So depending on when you made the changes, you would need to wait a year from then. There is no way to see a specific date at this time though.

@Digital - There's no license transfer exactly on the One, but setting a console as your Home console is basically the same thing.

Hello,

Sorry, this is not possible to do. The use of the license transfer system in this way is not prohibited. A license transfer cannot be used to transfer one piece of content from one console to another. It transfers all licenses from one Xbox 360 to another Xbox
360, not from one Xbox LIVE account to another Xbox LIVE account.

License Transferring does what the name says, it transfers the licenses of games to a different console. Transferring 360 games will not work with Xbox One's BC, it will only work with the account that they was purchased with.

Nothing can be transferred between accounts. The license transfer tool is used to transfer the licenses from one console to another but not between accounts.

What exactly do you mean by "transferring a license to the account JK THE KILLER"? The license transfer too transfers the licenses from one console to another. Nothing is transferred between accounts. If the expansion was purchased on another account
it might not be possible to play without purchasing on your account.

You can' transfer licenses from an account to another account, only from one Xbox to another Xbox.

You can recover your account on your Xbox and transfer your licenses from your old Xbox to a new one and you will be able to access all of your DLC with your main account.
