What is activation code activation code?

How do you find an activation code?

for a specific game?

I have an Xbox 360 and I bought a new game and it requires me to activate it through an activation code. How do I find the activation code for my game? Do you go to your store or Microsoft's website? Re: How do you find an activation code? A few months ago I was able to find an activation code for a specific game on the Microsoft website. It would show up in the "games" section and say "Activation Required". I could then go to the web page and click "Get activation code", which would give me the code. I don't know if they still do this, but it was worth a shot.

If you can't find it there, you can try looking through the game box. Maybe there's a paper insert with the code on it.

Yes, you can. If you want to activate a new Xbox 360 game you need to get the code from the Xbox Marketplace on your Xbox 360 console. However, the activation code is not directly sent to your Xbox 360 console, instead it is sent to the service provider's server and then the activation code is sent to your Xbox 360 console.

You can only get the activation code from the service provider's website (Microsoft's Xbox Marketplace, Gamefly, etc). You can't get the activation code from Microsoft's website, you can only get the activation code from the service provider's website.

The activation code is never sent to the console itself. It is sent to the service provider's server and then sent to your console.
