Battlefield 3 premium code redeem question

Hi,

I have replaced my old computer with a new one, and BF3 has installed as "Limited Edition" only. It plays fine, BUT when I try to use my redeem code to install my expansion packs, it tells me that the code has already been used. Well, yes it has, on my other machine which is no longer in use and has had BF3 removed.

So my question is, how do I get all my expansion packs onto my new machine please? I bought the game from a shop, not an online d/l by the way.

Thank you.

Codes are one time use and once redeemed are permanent entitlemens on your Origin account. Once you reinstall your Origin client on your new PC and download BF3 you will have to righ click the BF3 icon and select "show game details" and then on each expansion pack right click the icon and select download.

Hi ragnarok013, thanks very much for your quick reply. Yes, it was my bad. I thought I had to "redeeem" again to download, but in fact the packs started to download in the background once I tried to play an expansion loaded game.
I have to say though, the file sizes are crazy... Thanks again for your reply.
