Fallout 3 DLC — Transferring Content Licenses to a New Console

Last year I put up this blog post explaining how to transfer content licenses to a new Xbox 360. With the release of Fallout 3 DLC, I’ve seen a number of folks asking whether or not they’re able to play DLC content when they’re NOT signed into Xbox LIVE — so I’ve figured now is a good time for a refresher.

So can you play content downloaded from Xbox LIVE while offline OR when using another user profile on your Xbox 360? The answer is YES, so long as you’re playing the content on the same Xbox 360 you purchased the content on. This is because when you purchase content on your Xbox 360, you’re assigned a license to use it only that Xbox 360. If you’re no longer using the Xbox 360 you originally purchased the content on, you’ll want to use the Xbox 360 Content License Transfer Tool.
