Unable to play Battlefield 3 when I downloaded and activated it

I just recently bought BF3 from the Humble Bundle. I activated the game and downloaded it. When I click play it says we could not activate Battlefield 3 on this computer using the Origin Account you provided. Please locate your product key to activate the game using your Origine Account. I then enter my key and it says The product key entered cannot be used to activate this game. I don't understand. The other games I activated on Origin worked fine. BF3 is the only one that has problems activating. Please help.

  • I also had a humble bundle key for Burnout Paradise The ultimate box
    I also encountered problems -
    While launching it an error popped up saying that license limit has been reached for this product

    I went on to the game folder and found a configuration file from Sims 3, I downloaded the right configuration file, replaced it and it worked!

    That could problem for you too. Check the folder thoroughly.

    What do you mean? I activated the product but like when I try to launch bf3 it ask for a product key and when I use the product key I was given it says it is not acceptable.

    Hi sniper,

    Could you try it again and see if you are still encountering this problem? I had a check into something for you and think that we may have been able to fix this for you. Please let me know when you can.

    Thanks.

    I am unable to. I copied the product code that shows on my Origin page for BF3 and it says the same thing. "The Product Key you have entered can not be used to activate the game."

    Ok, thanks for checking that for me. I would suggest to contact a Game Advisor for further help with this issue. They will be able to take a more in depth look into the possible cause of this problem.

    Thanks.
