Major Nelson’s How-To
Major walks you through the steps of transferring content licenses.

Transferring Content Licenses to a New Console

Got a new Xbox 360® console? Great. But maybe you downloaded games or other content from Xbox LIVE® Marketplace onto an older Xbox 360 console, and now you want all that content on your new system. Well, now there's a way to do it.

With the license transfer tool, you can transfer the licenses of all your previously downloaded content from your old console to the new one.

Two Part Process

It's a simple two-part process.

First , you must transfer your authorized licenses here on the site.

Second, you must download the transferred licenses onto your new Xbox 360.

Start the license transfer process now.

See how easy it is to transfer your content licenses.

Note that if you received your new Xbox 360 as the result of a refurbishment or repair, the licenses have already been transferred as part of the repair process, and you do not need to use the license transfer tool, but you may need to download the content again. Check the repair and refurbishment instructions page for more information.

For more information about restoring your licenses, see the Xbox 360 Content License Transfer FAQ.
