Minecraft Windows 10 Edition stuck in Trial Mode?

Hello!

I recently bought a key Minecraft Windows 10 Edition, I redeemed it and I installed the game. It works well in my main PC, but when I switched to my other PC the store lets me download it and install it, logged into the same account of course, but when I launch it, it says that I need to buy the game and I only have the trial version.

I really tried everything: uninstall and reinstall, signing out and signing in 10 times, logging in with my Xbox account... nothing fixed the issue and it is really annoying cause I should have a full game not a trial version.

Please help me fix this,

Thank you

Hi,

first of all I want to say Thank you for trying to help me with the problem.

Secondly, before doing all of that, I don't really think it is a Microsoft Store problem because the store tells me I own the full game and it lets me install it without problems, it's even showed in recent purchases.

The problem comes when I launch the game, because it'll just say that I have to unlock the full version and if I start a new World the game will say I only have a trial version.

I already tried the point 1 so many times and it didn't fix the issue. But I don't understand why is it doing this on a new PC and on my main one it works flawlessly?

Yes I did, and unfortunately it didn't solve it. It still says I am in a trial version when obviously I'm not since I bought the game and the store says I own it. This is so weird, I own the game but the game itself says I have to buy it.

Hi, I have the same issue too. However I brought Minecraft PC/Mac or Java Edition. I claimed the code for Minecraft Windows 10 since it comes with the Minecraft PC/Mac. I launched the Minecraft Windows 10 and on the home screen it says "Unlock Full Game". I clicked on it and it says I have to Buy Minecraft. I already "brought" Minecraft Windows 10 because I claimed the code and it still says I need to Unlock the game. Please help I would like to play Minecraft Windows 10.
