Fixed!

Hello @JayBiggsGaming
Do you have this problem with same error in other EA games? In Battlefield 3 for example?
Yes, I just downloaded Spore and it gave a similar message about being unable to connect to the license server.
At this point I think it is my internet filter blocking some critical website/domain/server. If I knew what website/domain/server it was I could unblock it easily but game advisers informed me Origin only uses IP's to activate games. So I don't know.
I've just been given these instructions though and I'm going to try them now:
https://help.ea.com/en/article/unable-to-activate-battlefield-3/
The first option didn't work so far. Moving on to the next ones.
EDIT:
I don't even have license files in that folder to delete.
Back to square one
I have updated the first post with steps I have tried to fix the issue. No success yet.
Well I've tried everything. I talked to around 6 Game Advisers and they ran out of things to try and began having me repeat ones I already did. I'm not angry, it is a decent customer support service, nice people, etc. I clearly cant use origin anymore though so I'm going to cancel my Battlefront preorder and uninstall everything. If SOMEONE SOMEWHERE figures this out PLEASE post what fixed it for you. Thanks.
