I have not done this in a long time, but what I do remember is that you need to wait a certain period before being able to transfer your liscence again, and I forget how long that period is. As far as I recall, the liscence transfer is only if you want to be able to play the game offline, so at least you should be able to play the game as long as you are connected with the profile that you purchased it originally(need to be connected to XBL). So when you get your Xbox in December , you may not yet be able to transfer the liscence back, but as long as you are conected to XBL you should be able to play the game, that's what I remember but I'm not 100% sure. Good luck.

I know on xbox one multiple people can share games, my buddy has his account set as my home xbox and mine his. As long as i connected to live i can access my games, offline i can only access his and vice versus for him. I wish he'd buy more games though, I've purchased 30/36 we share

The question here is if you remember when you are allowed to do the license transfer. You can only transfer your license a certain ammount of times throughout the year. I bought a new console, removed my HDD and installed it in the new console, then I had to transfer my licenses and after I did an announcement appeared on my screen telling me that I could transfer lincenses only until Sept 9 2014 again. This has kept me from purchasing a new HDD. Now that I can do the license transfer I can go and purchase my new HDD.

I remember that you could only perform the License Transfer once every 6 months, if you wanted to play any Arcade games in that account before that window is over you would have to be signed into XBL, always online.

You could just let your friend log into your account. A license transfer is only needed to tie the software to the hardware and work without being logged in.
