Battlefield 3 - Product Key Error

I previously owned a copy of Battlefield 3 on Origin, and now I have purchased it again on Steam. I linked my accounts and tried to join an online server, but I was unsuccessful and encountered this error.

I went to the following path: %ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services\ and deleted everything in the License folder, but the issue still persists.

I also contacted support, and they advised me to update my graphics drivers, VC drivers, check my internet connection, and verify the integrity of the game files. However, none of these solutions worked, so they redirected me to the forum.

Could you please help me?

Thank you!

    Hi ViCeSVK,

    I don't speak your language, so don't know exactly what is being said in the screenshots, but I believe it's what is being discussed in the thread below. It may be worth trying the suggestions in the accepted solution. Hopefully, the other steps mention after deleting the files in the license folder work. Also, make sure that you're using the EA App rather than Origin (it looks like Origin in your screenshots anyway).

    If that does not work then you will need to go back to EA Help I'm afraid.
