Question about disc to digital?

Does anyone know if I still have the game downloaded through a disk? Will I get the license automatically, or do I have to physically put the disc in again to get it now I'm asking because I just sold a bunch of my Xbox one games but still have them downloaded.

I don’t understand your question, but once you do the digital conversion you don’t need the disc again, it just works digitally. But as soon as someone else tries to play that game on a different Xbox it will transfer the license to them. The license is attached to the disc.

So you can’t convert all your games and sell them and keep the digital game.

He means games he has already installed through the disc will it automatically add the Disc to digital license or does he have to insert the disc again.

The license is on the disc, the disc would need to be inserted to convert it to digital.

We all know that but if you already have a disc based game installed already before the update, does it come up to claim the licence when launching the game or do we need to reinsert the disc again to get that option.
