Was the original account made on that console? Because if it was hen the license is already on that console and their is no need to do it but if the account was not made on that xbox then you should license transfer it all so that all account on that Xbox can play that DLC.

Okay I think I get it now the account was made on a different console so in order to play that DLC I have to license transfer? If I don't license transfer when I download that DLC it will only be able to be used by the account that downloaded it correct?

Full explaination: say you have the original xbox and you upgrade to the slim. Well when you recover you account on the slim, you can download anything you've purchased from the marketplace and be able to use them on that particular account but any other account won't have that access. That's where license transferring comes in. If you want to access the marketplace purchases on another account you need to go to account management then down to license transfer. Doing the license transfer is supposed to just move the licenses over to the new xbox, but what it does is it copies them. So all accounts on boths xboxs will have access to all purchases. People do this with their friends to share those purcharse like games on demand and map packs. You can do a license transfer once every 4 months so 3 times a year. The only thing you cannot transfer the license for is avatar stuff. Those stick to the account.

Let me know if this helped.
