Paid but Live game hasn't unlocked

    Hey all,

    Downloaded a game off live yesterday. Topped up points and unlocked it. Points were deducted from my account. Then I started the game. The game start up halted and up came the 'there is an update for this game..' etc. window.

    I let it update and restart and, well, the game is still the trial unlocked game. If I select unlock game from the games menu, the silver Live bar slides in and tells me I've already downloaded and unlocked this game.

    I went into account management and it shows I've downloaded and paid for the game.

    Am I missing something here? :confused:

    Strange one. Did you try deleting and re-downloading it?
    Once it's showing you've paid for it you are OK and have the license.

    Deleting and re-downloading it... that's what I'd do.

    No, you already have the license.

    any time I'm not connected to the net, the games I have previously downloaded are just there as trials. Is this normal?

    I think this happens if you have changed and transferred your original data to a different HD and you need to be on live to use them.:(

    MS launched a tool to consolidate your licenses to 1 console. You can do it only once every 12 months but most people won't change xbox's that often & if you get the RROD MS will transfer them automatically. The tool should be on the xbox site somewhere, probably under support.
