Xbox 360 License Migration Tool Now Available

Jun 26, 2008 4:43pm CST tags: Microsoft, DRM, XBLA
As promised last month, Microsoft has released a new digital rights management tool allowing gamers to more easily consolidate licenses for downloaded content to a single console for online and offline play.

Performed entirely online, the license migration tool transfers licenses from old consoles on Microsoft's website, and allows users to easily redownload the licenses to a new Xbox 360.

Previously, licensing restrictions prevented redownloaded content and games from functioning on new consoles without an active Xbox Live connection. The license migration tool lifts this restriction when the licenses are transferred, allowing content to effectively function as it had on the original system on which it was purchased.
