I thought that as soon as someone tried to use the same home account as someone else's xbox it removes the home console licenses from the first xbox...

You're gonna have to give a better explanation, I don't really understand what you are trying to say.

Your friend's account needs to be tied to your Xbox and vice versa if your friend wants your stuff. If you link your account back to your Xbox you will lose his digital license.

Yes. And if you ever decide to stop sharing, you'll keep all your purchases. It does a food job of keep licenses straight.

So you can change your my home xbox 3 times? Is that the console itself or only the gamertag you are using?

So my buddy has ghosts downloaded on his xbone. I set his home xbox on mine so I can play it. Can our other friend set his xbox as his home too? Then all three of us can play?
