02-27-2015

I take searched high and depression for a solution to this, so maybe someone here can help. I owned Rocksmith 2022 on PS3 and was able to employ the DLC on both my account and my wife's account. I upgraded to the PS4 and bought the game for information technology every bit I don't desire to keep my PS3 around anymore. I was able to log in and download the DLC when logged into my account, but when I switch to my wife'south account I cannot admission them. The songs don't testify up as purchased. Did they change it for the PS4 or am I doing something wrong?

I've fifty-fifty tried starting the game under my account and and so switching users but it just locks up Rocksmith and I take to quit and restart information technology anyway. Whatsoever assistance volition exist appreciated! Thanks!

I'thousand surprised that it worked that way for you on the PS3. I would think that DLC would be accessible only on the account that purchased information technology.
Maybe someone else knows better

Your PS4 has to be activated as your main console for yous to share DLC on it.

On the console, go to Settings -> PSN -> Actuate every bit your Primary PS4.

At the Sony Website you can sign in and hit the Activate a Device push button.

If you don't have it activated, yous cannot share DLC content with other users. Once y'all accept activated it, yous should be all gear up. If you've already done this, yous should probably call Sony to figure out what'due south wrong. If y'all have activated it, DO NOT DEACTIVATE, or you lot volition certainly have to telephone call Sony to actuate the console once again.

My daughters and I had the same problem with Little Big Planet DLC (They're 18 and 19, and still into LBP! Ha!); once I activated the PS4 every bit my primary device, they were able to access all the DLC on the console.

I have PS+ on my account and information technology was the simply 1 ready as master on the console until last nighttime when I activated hers. My wife's is not a sub-account, information technology is her own split business relationship, nonetheless, my understanding is that you can accept multiple accounts set up as Primary for the same console. You just tin can't have 1 account set as main on multiple consoles. If y'all take two accounts gear up as master on the aforementioned panel, then anything purchased by either person should be shared. Her account isn't used for purchases though, merely mine. The games I've purchased on my account show upwardly for her when she is logged in so the sharing is working, merely not the DLC in the game.

This is one of the steps that Sony directed me to exercise, however, in my case, that alone did not correct the problem.

Ultimately, the way I ended up fixing the trouble (every bit directed by Sony Support) was as follows:

ane - Deactivate my wife's business relationship as main. (Non certain if this was necessary, but doesn't hurt unless you're using both to purchase content from PSN).
two - Switched users to log in under my account (the account used to purchase the DLC on the PS3) and become to Settings -> PSN -> Restore Licenses.
iii - This removed the DLC'due south I had downloaded already in the game, so I went back into the store (via the Store in Rocksmith 2014) and re-downloaded the songs I had previously purchased. (They showed as purchased, just needed to re-download them).
4 - I then quit the game afterward all DLC's had been installed and switched users back to my wife'due south account.

Upon loading the game again all the purchased DLC's were available to her. I switched dorsum to my account just to verify it was on mine likewise and everything is working as it should again.

I'm going to assume that fifty-fifty though I was able to download the DLC'due south upon initial setup of my PS4, it did not properly assign the licenses to my PS4 chief business relationship. (Near likely because the content was originally purchased via the PS3). Hopefully any DLC's purchased on the PS4 moving forward volition assign licenses properly.

Thanks for all the aid to those that replied. Hopefully my experience can assistance other users in the time to come with this same problem.

I have a similar query on this subject.

I am on PS4 currently playing Batman Arkham Knight - about finished the start playthrough actually!

I am a total Batman fan so I tend to buy and read all of the graphic novels I tin get hold of, (that I can afford any way!). I actually bought the Arkham Knight graphic novel from Amazon. In the back cover there is a redeem lawmaking for a pare.

I have attempted to enter this redeem code whist logged into my Great britain PS4 account but information technology refuses information technology say it is invalid.

I have established that information technology is a code that tin only be used in the USA. I contacted WB and they replied proverb that I could create another account making out I was US based rather than UK. They reckon that this volition permit me to enter the redeem code and therefore download the skin.

There was no mention of whether it could be read across accounts on the same PS4, but I didn't enquire, perhaps because I didn't fully understand.

I haven't done it yet every bit I am not really sure of what I'm doing. I also don't want to practise whatsoever harm!

Tin anyone requite me any guidance on this?

I'd really capeesh it.
