Need to transfer a game purchased on parent account to child account

Good day Glorence, thanks for your question. I am glad to be able to provide assistance to you today. A purchased game cannot be transferred from one account going to another account and the option that you have is to login your account to the Microsoft Store on your child's device and download it from there or you can request for a refund via the link below and then make a new purchase using your child's account to have that game in there specifically.

Better management of "child accounts" needed for purchases

Both myself and my daughter have Windows Phones, however I have set her account up as a child account. Normally I have the setting for "Purchases" disabled, however the process to buy apps on her account when needed is incredibly tedious.



1. Sign in as child on the zune.net website

2. Enable Purchases

3. Sign in as Parent to authorise the change

4. Wait *ages* for the change to take effect

5. Go back to the app store and buy the app (or wait if the change isn't in effect yet)

6. Once installed, repeat steps 1-4 to disable purchases again

7. Hope in the meantime your child hasn't taken the opportunity to buy lots of other stuff as well



It would be really great if a different system could be implemented. How about:

• Child tries to buy the app, a notification goes to the parent to "approve" the purchase, or;
• The parent is able to manage child accounts directly under their own zune.net account and can buy "on behalf of...". or;
• When the child tries to buy an app, it just prompts at that time for the parent to login to "sign for" and approve the purchase

I love the option to have and manage child accounts and the family security settings, but this particular process is really painful.
