Past Arcade Games

Hi all,

Just a quick question. I have a few games i downloaded on my old gamertag. Now i use this one the games i downloaded in the past show as trail games. Do you have to re-buy the games?

I believe so mate

The games should work for any tag on the machine they were downloaded to.

If you've replaced/repaired the machine you can use the DRM tool with your old Tag to re-licence the games to your current machine. Then any user on that machine would be able to play the games.

That's cool then, I thought it was a combo of machine/serial num and your gamertag

Nope, I re-licenced my old stuff to my new console and Mrs Codehead can play it fine.

I had to do this when MS replaced my 360 with a new one. Everything is fine once re-licenced though.

They should show as full games when your 360 is connected to Live tough I believe.
