There is no problem running the game on Xbox with "family sharing" enabled accounts. If my profile is used to play the game on the Xbox, it's not possible to play the game using the same profile on Windows (even though the game has been purchased twice). When using one of my kids' local Windows accounts (which are linked to their Microsoft accounts), on which we have also downloaded the game from the Microsoft store, attempting to launch the game results in a Windows alert stating that "no applicable app licenses found". you don't appear to own Minecraft Dungeons on this account". When using the local Windows account which was used to purchase the game, signing into one of the "family sharing" enabled Microsoft accounts when launching the game on Windows, results in a notification stating that "you're signed into this game on another device.", but clicking the "sign in here" button results in a new notification stating that "game ownership not established.

Instead of having an iMessage sent to a family member whereby they would next receive an option to join, we chose to add them "in person". After a bit of fiddling, we discovered a workaround. My family would receive the invitation, but when pressing the "Join" button, nothing would happen.
As I added family members, invites via iMessage were sent to each member as expected. 3 Open Settings in Windows 10, click/tap on the Accounts icon, click/tap on Family & other users on the left side, click/tap on the Manage family settings online link, and go to step 4 below. Not able to join a family group via an invitationĪs I was setting up Family Sharing, I ran into a bit of a snag. 2 As an adult in the family, go to the Microsoft Family website, sign in with your Microsoft account if not already, and go to step 4 below. I've been long overdue in setting this up myself so I followed iMore's amazing guide on how to setup Family Sharing to get me started.
