    Windows LIVE Account Transfer

    Reply Quote
    To get started with networking I have to have an account on my PC. So I run my game and hit the guide button and try to get my Live account (the same one from the forums) but it asks for a 25 character product key. I haven't used LIVE on my PC yet so this might be noob-ish but 1) what product key and 2) why can't I just type in my GamerTag information (email, password, credit card, whatever) and be done? Until I get that sorted out I can always just make a new profile.

    I think that's the beta key referred to in the beta download link.

    Probably is. Still should be a way to just recover my GamerTag from my Xbox to my PC without it. Oh well. I guess I'll wait.

    I'm curious... could you recover it from a non-XNA Games for Windows - LIVE game?  You probably only need the "CD Key" because you're going through an XNA game.

    I have no idea. I just got Vista and have no LIVE enabled games (being that the only two I believe are Halo 2 and Shadowrun).

    I've had vista for a while now and own a copy of Halo 2. I've created an offline account in my name, but I can't find a "recover my xbox live account" button anywhere. I would have thought that an Xbox LIVE account qualifies as a Windows LIVE account aswell, so I can use my Gold membership to play windows live games (and develop them using XNA).

    The "Guide" menu in XNA (2.0) is exactly the same as that in Halo 2, so I'm not sure how I would get online with it.
