Xbox One Home Consoles

xFOXY GHOSTx · Jun 3, 2015

I have my account set on my friend's home console and I'm able to play his stuff no problem. Then I download my profile (not set as home, just downloaded it) on my brothers Xbox and now I can't download anything my friend has onto this one. Is it supposed
to be this way?

Here is an example:

My friend owns the season pass to Destiny so we both can play the DLC, but then when I downloaded my profile onto my brothers console, it's asking me to buy the season pass rather than it saying "Download".

Digital games on console question

Does this mean changing your home console automatically assigns the console licences to the new home console's console ID without the need of using the licence transfer tool?

Also, does this mean if you download a game away from your designated home console, it still gives the licence to the home console's console ID and not the one you download it on that is not set as your home console?Click to expand...

So, reading up about this, it seems the Xbox 360 DRM controls have changed now too, so either console you can change your home console every four months.

Digital Rights Management | Xbox Licence Transfer | Xbox DRM - Xbox.com

You don't need any kind of kit, just go to Xbox.com for your 360, or in the Xbox One dashboard and change your home console.

The one difference I identify between the two systems is the console license on the 360 assigns to the console the game is first downloaded to, whereas the One, it's whatever your home console is regardless of where you download it.

Xbox one home console

Yes. you can only have one console set as your Home at a time, so when you switch to another console it automatically removes it from the previous console.

Thank you that is what I thought

Yes, that is how it's supposed to work. You can only share content on the console that is set as the Home console. Since you don't actually own the content, it is not tied to your account. In order for you to use content on any consoles you want, you would
have to purchase it on your account.

Users are permitted five (5) chances to move their Home Xbox setting per 12-month period. The reasons to move the setting are equally limited; it is not designed to be passed around to other users (especially since the Xbox Live Code of Conduct states
that users are not to give their account information to another person or to sign into an account they do not own).

Your sole option is calling
Xbox Live Support. They will review the situation and, depending on what occurred, they might grant one final chance to move it, or they might grant a one-time reset. If the latter occurs it is the one and ONLY reset the account will EVER receive. If they
determine it's due to mis-use or abuse of the setting, they may also choose to do nothing. If they don't do anything, you can move it again when your oldest move drops off the account (this is the date shown when you try to change it and you've used all five
chances).

Hi there,

Unfortunately I don't believe that is a possibility. You may want to reach out to MS Customer Support for assistance

unfortunately it's not possible.
