Ok, I have 2 consoles and 1 season pass. I put my main tag on both consoles and downloaded the season pass + all map packs. I signed out my main tag on one console and signed into a secondary tag for boosting purposes, but it refuses to read the map packs. It just says "Season pass content could not be read." I was led to believe this would work.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe Season Passes can be used on two consoles, like you can with all other DLC.

I believe al is correct here. I've yet to have any "pass" related content usable on multiple consoles.

Standard DLC and arcade games, you're able to copy and move along with your purchasing profile to another xbox, while also using the content on the xbox it was downloaded to originally, with a secondary account.

The pass seems directly tied to a gamertag. I had an issue with WWE '12 where no matter what I tried, I could not get my alternate account online access.

It probably comes down to the fact that your license is for the ass and not directly for the content. I have the season pass as well as having purchased Raams shadow seperatley which allows me to access some but not all of the content from another console.

Season pass content CAN be used on two consoles - I did it with Gears of War 3. Downloaded the season pass to my primary console, and then redownloaded it to a second.

The season pass itself only gives you access to all of the DLC - you still have to download each DLC pack to each console you want to use it on - you did say that you had done that but worth double checking.

Secondly, for any content to work on the second console it is downloaded to, you have to be signed in and online for it to work. That rule applies to all DLC on multiple consoles.

Correct, but I believe the OP is trying to use the content with both his main gamertag and an alternate gamertag at the same time on different consoles. The purchasing account cannot be signed in in 2 places at once while signed into XBL.

Ohhhhh, in that case...

The Science:
You can use the season pass for any tag on the first console it was downloaded to - that's where the license is. To use the content that has been redownloaded with a different tag, the tag that purchased the content must be signed in and online on that console (can be signed in on a guest controller).

The Conclusion:
If you are wanting to boost with two xboxes, put your primary tag that owns the content on the second xbox with the redownloaded content. Use your secondary tag on the primary console where the content was first purchased = win.

Gotcha. I do the same for DLC and Arcade games to double box stuff, I must've messed up when trying to do the same with a pass. Good to know it works! toast

Yeah, I was wanting to use random profiles on the secondary console, but switching things worked. I'm playing Horde right now on a DLC map via system link. Random profiles signed into the original owner console and owner tag signed in on console #2.
