    Hi,

    this is possible yes.

    If you already have an Origin account and the (latest) Origin client

    installed, click on "Origin" in your client and then "redeem product code".
    Enter the code from the box and click next.

    ! However

    When you are ready to install, insert the disc but do not start setup from

    the disc. (Big chance) It will ask you to register while installing, giving you

    the message that the code was already used and "failing" install.

    Instead of starting the setup from disc, right click the game in your Origin

    client and choose download. Origin should detect the disc for installation use

    and will install without the registration message.
