I have 2 Xbox's, so after purchasing Minecraft on one of them. I went to download it again on the second one. It downloaded fine, but when I play it offline it says that it's the trial version. How do I fix this?
You have to sign into Xbox Live with the account you used to purchase it. That should update the rights and allow you to play it offline.
This is correct to an extent. When you purchase it, the console that you bought it on is tied to the game. To be able to play it on the other console, you need to either be signed in online, or transfer the license using the License Migration Tool. Be warned though, using the LMT means you will then have this same problem on the other console, but it will be fixed on the new one.

If he signs in on console 2 to update the rights, and then disconnects that xbox, wouldn't he be able to play offline? Then sign back in on console 1, update those rights, allowing normal online play on console 1, while maintaining the ability to play offline on console 2? Unless the first part doesn't work. It's been a while since I tried that, so I'm not sure it works the way I was thinking.

As long as he never connects the other xbox to XBL again he would be able to play offline with the full version just fine.

Thanks for the info. I think I might just buy it again on the 2nd console later on in the future. It's only 20 dollars. Thanks again though.

No, it doesn't work like that. Licenses don't update just because you go online. You have to manually update them with the LMT. You can only use that tool once every three months if I remember correctly.
