BF4 "Could Not Activate"

I'm trying to launch BF4 from Origin, but I keep getting an error that says:

"We could not activate Battlefield 4 on this computer using the Origin Account provided.  Please locate your product key to activate the game using your Origin Account."

There is a button below it that says "Enter Product Key".  When I click this button, nothing happens.

What do I do?!

    After logging in and out of my Origin account several times, it finally decided to work for me.  I made no other changes.

    If you are getting the same error, try logging in and out.

    Had a Chat with an EA/Origin tech.  This procedure worked for me:  Here are the Steps :- Open Computer from the Start menu and go to: C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License **Program Data may be a hidden folder on your machine**
     Delete either 71067.dlf or 71069.dlf (depending on if you have Limited Edition or Standard)
     Reboot your machine.
     Launch Origin.
     Try to launch BF 4.

    I was able to join BF4 servers after completing the above instructions.

    Exact same issue, Just brought the game home, and fearing some sort of tech glitch, did not install or play the beta. Guess I miss out on both.

    HI from Germany

    I have the exactly the thame Problem Installed the Game and after Launching the Battlellog and trying to launch something he says the the game is not Activated on this Account !!! Tryed to Uninstall and Download again but same error appears.

    I think it has something to do with my Upgrade from Windows 7 to 8.1 Final.

    All Other Games Work with Origin

    Off course i have restartet Origin and also Windows
