The Game Downloaded won't play on other profiles.

Info: In 2011 My Dad downloaded Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. He downloaded the game on his account, and I tried to play on it on my account. I did, It worked and I only played it once, I even have 2 achievements on it to prove it haha. Recently I had a sudden urge to play it again. So I go to the "My Games" section, select the game to play it, and it says "action could not be launched." So I tried every other account on the xbox and only My dad's account could play it now.

My attempt to fix it: Deleting the game, and redownloading it. Still didn't work. Deleted it again, deletes cache history, Redownload it. Still didn't work. I transferred the liscense onto the Xbox, and still only my Dad's account could play the game.

Afterthoughts: I have no idea what happened to xbox since 2011 - 2013 to change so I can't play the game on a different account.

- I don't know if this helps anything, but recently we (Not sure on which account) downloaded: Minecraft Xbox 360 edition. It works on every single profile. Just wondering why minecraft works, and Spyro doesn't, when it originally did.

If you have any other ideas of how to help, much obliged. :)

Sorry, I misunderstood your situation. I hope someone can help you.

To clarify, did you try redownloading the game after the license was transferred?

If you have gotten a new console since it was originally downloaded then transferring the license is the first thing to do.  After the license has been transferred you will need to redownload the game.  There is no need to delete it first, just go to the download history and select it.  You should be good after that.

Would this be true even if using the same hard drive and a different console? As I'm having the same problem but with mine craft as my boys xbox is broke and they're currently using my xbox but their hard drive.

Yes, games are licensed to the first console they are downloaded to.  If your old console broke and you moved your hard drive to another console you will need to license transfer your gamertag and then go to your download history to redownload the content.

I'm having the same problem! Except, I couldn't play it. It would just say can't be launched. But I transferred the license and it still didn't work.. My boyfriend downloaded "Destiny" on his xbox360, then turned around and transferred the license to mine so I could play it. But it still wont let me play at all..

This is an older thread.  For future reference please create a new one detailing your issue.

When a license transfer is done you'll need to redownload the content.  Have your boyfriend head to Settings>Accounts>Download History on the console and redownload the game.  There is no need to delete it first.
