Ok, so! I actually managed to finally figure it out. I installed origin and redeemed my code there, and after I patched the game client I was able to register the game with EA and after that it worked.

- You can download the patches here https://social.bioware.com/page/da2-patches or (if you redeemed the code for the game in Origin) you can right click on the Icon of the game and choose "search updates" (or something along those lines, I have the German version so this might not be the exact wording in the English Origin client).
I installed Dragon Age 2 from a disk. I downloaded the patch. I installed Origin, even though I don't see a need for it considering I have the disk. I am STILL unable to get past the error message on the release date check. HELP! PLEASE!
Thank you so much. I followed your suggestion, and it worked perfectly!
Tanks so much for that! Easy and effective.

thank you for shareing this prety sad that this is still a issue in 2016
Changing the date to 3/21/2014 allowed the EA registration pop-up to appear (instead of the securom failure) in Mac OS. And now the EA always appears, regardless of date and time. So that's one part of the process. But then the EA registration window is now failing... Ok, so I check my EA login, works. I go to their game registration area. Not loading (website delay/issue). Eventually I can refresh and it populates. I enter my product keys (from amazon) there and it apparently works. I launch the game, login w/ same EA credentials, and OMG it finally updated and works... QUITE THE PROCESS...
Thanks, I did what you said about changing the date and it solved all the problem, thanks, really.
For me, what worked was logging in to the Origins site, updating, then restarting game. Now all I need to work out is how to map 'mouse 1' button to the attack mode. Computer doesn't recognise a 'left mouse click' as an alternative option to keyboard letter 'R'.....................oh well.
You are a beautiful person, that was such an easy fix to be able to play an awesome game :-)
changing the date an time worked for me Thank you so much.
