Can't play a game/DLC after a license transfer

So, I made a license transfer with my friend. I signed into his profile to download a DLC or game. Then, when it finished downloading, I signed out of his profile and went back onto mine. Then I tried to play the game/DLC, however the game refuses to launch, and the DLC for it is also unavailable. The only way I can play them is if I'm on his profile. Why can't I play them on my account?
I also made a transfer with another friend and tried to download the games/DLC, but I can't play them on my account. Why not?
Best Answer
License transfer means you gave the game to someone else. It is now their game so your account is no longer authorized to play it.

Does DLC transfer between consoles?
Just to clarify, all DLC will be available on your new console after moving your licence's over. Just be sure to go to your download list and redownload them (if you are transfering them over) as this is how you refresh your licence. Your Mass Effect, Gears of War, Halo, Call of Duty, etc.How do I restore DLC on Xbox one?
According to the devs, existing save data and DLC from all three games will be able to move to the new PS5 and Xbox Series X/S editions intact. It looks like save data will have to remain within the console family though. No moving PS4 saves to Xbox Series X/S or Xbox One data to PS5.Do DLCS carry over to next gen for PS4?
