so pretty much im on my fifth 360. i know, what a POS. this all started on my last console after it broke. and they sent me a refurbished POS. all of the content was inaccessible. even though it was on the harddrive. showed up as corrupted. anyway i figured it was something stupid so i just formatted the 360 and gave it to my family. i bought the new jasper resident evil edition 360, because i wanted a system that wouldnt croak on me. so it turns out that all my old content does not work, downloads as a corupted file. microsoft tells me its a bad harddrive. so i told them then how was i able to purchase new content and it work just fine. duh. any way i call them 2 to 3 times a week. and they tell me everytime that it will get fixed but it doesnt. they keep channeling it up the chain of idiots with no progress in sight. i tried the license transfer tool. no dice. it was funny seeing the 5 or 6 consoles listed on there. all POS’s. this is where drm content fails. im hoping that in the end which hopefully only lasts a week more at most that it is resolved, a word of advice to you all running the old systems, get the new jasper chip systems. just google it. you should find everything you need to know. if youd like to know how this story ends, send me an email in a couple weeks and ill update you on it. talon_4_9@yahoo.com

Thank you very much to the people that have mentioned the License Migration Tool on xbox.com — after some very frustrating months of not being able to play my rightfully owned DLC I can finally play it again without the need of having to be logged in to XBL. Again, thank you very much, you have made me very happy!

I never recovered my games from a few consoles back either. I finally gave up as it was beyond frustrating spending so much time on it.

I, too, resorted to the license migration after Microsoft screwed up the license transfer. I’m on my FIFTH 360, and was able to transfer the licenses as described in the “what to do after recieving a repaired 360″ page before, but not this time. The License Migration worked perfectly, but in looking at it, I found out that while 115 licenses were on my previous console, 9 were still on the one before that! I suppose they botched that one, too.

What’s really a shame, though, is that you can only use the tool once per year. I don’t know if my 360 will even last that long, if past experiences are anything to go by. Plus, I was planning on getting an Elite and transfering everything onto it this Christmas… but I guess not. Oh well. I suppose M$ has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they don’t even remotely value me as a customer.

I redownloaded much of my content but I can only play it on my Gamertag and not on any other gamertag on my Xbox much to the discontempt of my brother and father they are only able to play demos as well as I as some of the mature content downloaded by my father is unplayable to us as well We can only rebuy each item over to get it fully back on each profile which seems to me as a waste of many seeing as if you buy a game once everyone should be able to play said game any ideas?

Hey guys,
Ok, i found that doing the License transfer DOES WORK! I just recently sent my Xbox to be repaired, and i had tons of stuff downloaded on it. I got my console back, and followed the instructions given to restore my DLC. I downloaded all my stuff. No such luck. Then i deleted all my DLC and redownloaded it. Sill no such luck. I went to

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/licensemigration/

And i followed the instructions (its wicked easy.) And i redownloaded my DLC, and everything works Online and off, and on different Profiles! Hope this helps! Good luck.
