So would Dawnguard work on multiple accounts?

Post » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:56 pm

Ok so i play on an Xbox 360. My main account i use on it, i have a few characters on said account. However because the more and more characters i make on one account, the harder it is to organize and use them. So earlier this year i decided to make a character on another xbox 360 account. However if i download the dawnguard DLC from my main account, is the material available for all accounts on the Xbox? In other words, can i play my newest character in dawnguard even though said character is not connected to the account that downloaded it? Or is only the characters associated with my main account are the ones that can be used with dawnguard?

Like all DLC on the xbox it tends to only matter if it is on the hard drive. So the 1st HD you download it to after purchasing will be able to play it, while your account will be able to redownload it anywhere else BUT only the 1st one can play it without the buyer account

When you download DLC to the xbox it's registered to your console, anyone who uses that console with any account has access to that content.

Ok thanks alot :smile:
Not a problem, the only time it doesn't work is if the content is moved or re-downloaded to another console. If that's the case, you have to use this licensing tool on the xbox site to license it to the new system but you really don't want to do that unless you plan on using that system exclusively.

In the case that you do download it on another xbox, your account will have to be logged in and signed onto xbox live for it to work without being licensed.
