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?!

battlefield 4

    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.

    Hey @leo33d,

    are you trying to launch the game from Origin or through Battlelog? Which account are you logged in with on either the Origin client or the battlelog website?

    Hey @Kon_ShikigamiHUN,

    can you check if both Origin and Battlefield are added as exception to Firewall and antivirus program? Try running Origin as admin as well.

    Please do note that I removed 98% of the exclamation marks you used, one is enough.
