Method 1: Setting the person that has brought the game as owner

If you’re dealing with a digitally purchased game, you might be encountering this issue because the game you’re trying to access has been brought from a different account. If this scenario is applicable to your current situation, there’s a high chance that you will be able to resolve the issue by logging in with the account that made the purchase and setting this console at their home Xbox.

Once you manage to do this, you and any other users logged in on that console will be able to play the game on their accounts.

Here’s a quick guide on how to log in with an account that made the purchase and setting it as the owner of this console:

1. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open up the guide menu. Once you get there, navigate to the Sign-in tab and select Add new.

   

2. You will then be transported to a Sign in! menu. In the Sign in! menu, use the most convenable method (email, phone or Skype) to sign-in with the account that has brought the game digitally.

   

3. Enter your password to complete the login procedure.

   

4. Once the log-in procedure is complete, you will be taken to the Sign-in & security preferences. Once you get there, set your preferred behavior (we recommend choosing the Lock it down option if the account isn’t yours).

   

5. If you have a Kinect connected to your Xbox One, choose Sign in manually to proceed.

   

   Note: Depending on your location, you might also be asked whether you want to start using Cortana and subscribe to the Microsoft Game pass service. But if this is not an account that you’ll actively use, you should normally have to consider it.

6. When you get to this step, you should already be signed in into the account that brought the game triggering the 0x82d40003. Now all that’s left to do in order to make the game available for your account is to establish this one as the owner of the Xbox One console. To do this, hit the Xbox button one again, navigate to the Settings menu and choose All settings.

   

7. Inside the Settings menu, go to the Personalization tab, then move over to the right pane and select My home Xbox.

   

8. If the current account is not set as primary, you’ll have the option to make this the home Xbox (which is what we’re looking to do). To do this, simply click on Make this my home Xbox.

   

9. That’s it. Now all that’s left to do is to sign-in with your regular account and start the game that was previously triggering the 0x82d40003. If the error code was thrown because the account that purchased the game was not signed in, the issue should now be resolved.

4. Complete the uninstallation process by choosing Uninstall all.

   

5. Once the game has been reinstalled, go back to the Manage menu (left-hand side) and go to the Ready to install section. Then, go to the right pane and click on Install all. This will install the base game + all the add-ons owned by this particular account.
