You wouldn't be able to use the maps unless you kept the account because the license is attached to that account. Without it having the maps on your harddrive is worthless.

Why is this done? To stop people from doing exactly what you're trying to do.

I'm pretty sure the maps don't get linked to an account, they are saved to your hard drive. So it doesn't matter if you recover an account on another xbox, the maps won't be on that xbox. Otherwise wouldn't friends just let each other recover gamertags to get DLC?

I have the disk that comes with all the maps... Sorry.

Both.

When you download a DLC item, you download the item to your harddrive. But that's not the important part. When you get something from the marketplace, you're also buying the license to USE that item. There are two licenses. One license is attached to the account that downloads the content, and the only is attached to the Xbox that downloaded the content.

The account that purchased the content can always redownload any previously purchased items from the marketplace on any Xbox connected to XBL. And you can play it. BUT:

Since the license is on the FIRST Xbox, the second you DON'T use the downloader-account, even having the maps on the second harddrive won't matter because you don't have the license to use them. So it's essentially worthless because you'll never be able to use the content. It's wasted space. The only time you would be able to use the content is if

A. You logged onto the second Xbox with the account that originally purchased the DLC content.
or
B. Utilized the license transfer tool.

This is, as said, to stop people from just recovering gamertags to other Xboxs to gain free content.
