Product being confused for piracy. Help!

@DeffDread97 have you already tried to activate the game via Origin and could you please provide us the exact error message?

Cheers

@EA_Bastian Command & Conquer: The First Decade doesn't exist as Origin product. You can't activate it on Origin.

@DeffDread97 I assume you're talking about buildings blowing up in Red Alert 2 or later games? If I remember correctly, to prevent that you need to make very sure you both installed and are running the games in elevated rights (Administrator) mode.

I have done that, when it is in elevated rights, an error message occurs

I really can't help you any further unless you actually tell me what that error message says... 😕mileyindifferent:

Which Windows version are you running on?

My os is Windows 8.1. When I run the ra2.exe in administrative mode, there is no error message(sorry about that), but it still has anti-piracy measures. When I get rid of of the blowfish.dll, it says "****Fatal****String manager failed to initialized properly". 

So you named your thread "Product being confused for piracy.", where does it say that? Can you show us a screenshot? Never heard about something like this before.

You should never remove blowfish.dll, this file is needed to read the encrypted mix files

Yeah, that thread name is a bit wierd. But the anti piracy measures, like in red alert 2 the base blowing up after 1 min, are in effect.  Could there be a patch or extra file that I could use to fix it? 

Thank you, but I have reinstalled it twice now. At this point I might as well wait and buy the current one, the Ultimate Collection. Its not that much and I get more games than the first decade. Thanks again.
