Need a Battlefield 1942 Key to activate the game in Origin

2015 and this still is not fixed.

this is why i stopped buying on origin.

After reloading data from my back up HD on to my new HD, I have the game but no key - it seems that I cannot find / access the key and there is no on line help on this free (once paid for) game.  I'd like to start playing again.  Origin, any help??

Well...that was a pleasant surprise - from the EA website, at the bottom of most pages I was able reach support via chat.  They were able to fix the issue on their side after I gave them my correct log on email address.  Since it is a free game, I think they were willing to resolve this issue.  Good customer service for their future games.  Well done EA! 

After phoning at the EA Customer service (in France) they told me I had to have a proof that I downloaded the game when it was released free on Origin in 2012... so no key for me :'(

If anyone from EA can give me a key, my support ticket is

look  ea drop support  for battlefield 1942 back in june  2014 see link http://www.ea.com/1/service-updates

 so they no longer give download links but the community fix the master server so you can still play it online see

I download the game via 01net site.

"http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Jeux/action/fiches/121241.html"

Battlefield 1942 is a free version

when i try to launch the game using origin , an activation key is requested.

The following message appear: "Pour jouer à DisplayName field missing from registry., vous devez d'abord l'activer sur votre Compte EA"

I need to click on "Activer le jeu"

I don't have any key to type as it is a free version.

The downloaded  file is a ZIP file with auto extract in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1942

and the directory contain the BF1942.exe file to be launch using origin

Can you help me? How can I proceed ?
