Registration code already used
I bought the collection from origin and tried to play the C&C 4 game and when it asks the key code I put it in and it tells me the key code is already in use?

As for your issue, the "code used" message means the code is already registered to an Origin account. There can be number of reasons for this.
Did you purchase the disc online? Used? The game code is only redeemed once. After it has been registered to an Origin account, it becomes used.
Did you enter the code and nothing happened, then reenter it? This can be common for DVD installs. If that's the case, the code has been registered and you have to wait for the game to be activated (a SimCity entry shows up in your My Games library) before the install will continue.
If none of the above, you'll have to contact a game advisor (accounts) via live chat from your computer to check the status of your account and where the game code may be registered.
