Command & Conquer: The First Decade Origin Activation

Hello,

I am currently trying to add "Command & Conquer: The First Decade" to my Origin account.

Turns out all of the codes given on the back of the manual were rejected  by Origin.

Is there a way get the activation working?

    The First Decade isn't available as product on the Origin store, and neither are any of the separate games on it. So, redeeming those keys through Origin doesn't work. They are available in The Ultimate Collection though, but you can't just redeem TUC using TFD keys; TUC also contains all the more recent games.

    Do note, the three oldest games are freeware, so you don't have to re-buy anything for playing those.

  • So basically they are ripping us off by stopping a game I legally paid for from working by hijacking game files on my PC to prevent the game working as it once did and instead sending me to their new online service which conveniently don't support the game I already bought....Seems like a legal case for some hungry attorney.

    @Max0Kill It wasn't EA which decommissioned the DRM system on these older games. That was Microsoft.

    And this would be a case where it's perfectly legal to apply no-CD patches. But that's all done at your own risk, of course.
