A separate registration is required for each platform, and Origin has conflicts with following installs from disk media. Each platform and game establishes a permanent link to a single player account. But disks don't know how to aviod re-registering every time. There's a work-around that often fails, involving pausing an install to skip the disk's insistence on registration, but the easiest thing is to accept a free digital copy to install after the first time.
Multple platforms and / or multiple accounts cannot share the same CD Key code.
That makes the case sound like one where the retailer has attempted to pass off a used game for new (resealing it in plastic to imply it's never been opened}. There is no support for reselling games that have previously been registered, and the retailers know that.
P. S. Your question is so generic, it makes no difference, however the BF3 game has its own dedicated forum here, and you've been using the Hardline game's forum, just so you know,
OP since you purchased a new sealed copy of the BF3 premium edition and the code is coming up as invalid you'll need to speak to a Game Advisor who can audit the code and correct the situation. Please ensure you have your receipt handy in case the game advisor asks for it.
