Xbox Live - Image 1If you have multiple Xbox 360s or one broke down and you're planning to buy an entirely new one, transferring the content you downloaded on the older unit's hard drive to the new one was impossible with Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection. That's a thing of the past now as Microsoft introduces the License Transfer Tool.

Using the License Transfer Tool is pretty easy. The first thing to do is to transfer the authorized license to the official Xbox site. Second, you download it to the new Xbox 360 and you'll be all set to go.

Finally, we've been cut some slack with software transfer from hard drive to hard drive among Xbox 360s! Nice going, Microsoft!

 » It works and its easy to do...

I have recently re-downloaded the licenses to all 47 of my Arcade games to my Halo Edition, my previous console didn't die I just traded with my brother, I previously had the Elite but kept my hard drive thinking the content was licensed to the drive not the console, this tool allowed me to re-download all my games and even videos (NOT MOVIES) but videos like south park, etc... back on to my console and allows usage rights to myself or any one on my console even if not signed in to live or if using a different gamer tag...

All I can say is it works, I'm happy and those who had to get consoles repaired or upgraded will be happy too.
