Why do i have to be connected to Live to use DLC ?

I bought some of the Dead Space upgrades over Live but i have to be connected to Live to continue playing the game now.

Why is this? Is there a way round it?

I think some other games require to be connected to Live to play DLC too.

Have you recently had your 360 fixed or upgraded ??

If you cant play stuff while offline it usually means the licences have changed.
You can use the DRM Tool on Xbox.com to transfer or go to your download history and re-download everything you have purchased. This will only take a few minutes as it wont download it all just the licence

you should have to transfer the drm licences to your new console Xbox.com | System Use - Transferring Content Licenses to a New Console
