Zero Hour Downloads with CD KEY

Hello everyone, I have recently come across my old boxes of C&C Gernerals and C&C Zero Hour. However I don't have a CD drive on my newly built PC. I know you can buy usb CD Drives, but I did buy these games back in the day. I still have the CD Key. Is there anyway I can download and play with out paying again? Thank you.

    Hey @vodkayummy Without the full box (all CDs) needed for the installation, we would be unable to install it. 

    As far as purchasing another copy, we do not sell Zero Hour digitally any longer. The closes you would have now are either the C&C Remastered collection or the C&C Ultimate collection. You might be able to find a box copy at a local retailer, however, we would not have support for a used copy and often have risks (like missing a disc) we are unable to assist with. 

    Happy to Help!

    Hi @vodkayummy If you still have the original CD's and CD Key, you will want to install the game using the CD's (with a cd drive) and enter the key when prompted. 

    Zero Hour is one of our older titles so I'm unsure if it can handle digitally linking your game to an EA account for you to download with the EA App. However, if you are prompted to link or sign in with an EA account you may be able to do so. 

    Cheers!

    @EA_Illium Hey. I actually just don't have CD 1 but I have CD 2 from the box set. When I built my new PC I didn't put a CD drive in it. So if I can't use the CDs then I would have to repurchase it via origin? Thanks for your time.
