Xbox – Why can’t I play Fez when offline

fezxbox-360

For some reason, every time I try to play Fez without being signed into Xbox Live, it only let's me play the trial version, even though the only version in my game library is the full version. I'm trying to get all of the anti-cubes in the clocktower room by advancing the time on my Xbox (for which you must me offline). Now you see my dilemma. I could wait 12 more hours for the cube to appear but I'd rather not have to wake up at 5:00 to play Xbox. Although Fez is worth it. Help?

If the game was not originally downloaded on this system it will transform the license to a trial game. Although I've been having similar issues since last december with my games turning into false licenses. This is working knowledge from August 2012, when I purchased a license for a particular DLC then I signed off and my Girlfriend had the same license, same permissions and full execution of the DLC/Game. If you haven't done so, or if you don't remember where you purchased a particular item all Xbox users can use a license transfer which updates the licenses of all purchased items to your xbox or you could browse your purchase history to redownload Fez which would re-enable the license to allow you to play offline.

NOTE: This is based on old knowledge and I haven't had to try this in a while but should still be valid.
