BF3 won't launch

I have the base game and then also just purchased the premium (expansions). Saying that I don't even own the base game and when trying to launch I am getting this error.. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

  • @danisoffEA support is a hit or miss, and mostly a miss I will say. I was actually going thru multiple other threads and came across this post here, https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-3/We-could-not-activate-Battlefield-3-quot-PC/m-p/13893511#M141667

    I tired this and it actually worked. I recommend anyone else that is having this similar issue to try this and here is the English version.

    "Hello, I just found out how to solve it. You should show all hidden files, then go to C:ProgramData.Electronic Arts-EA Services.License. (Normally this folder is hidden). Delete all files. Then you go to start EA app recovery and clear the cache. you open EA app and play!! . Help others in English. See you in BF3."

  • Hello @expozzed,

    If you are missing content you have paid for, you should contact EA support for help.
