I have this same issue. Purchased the DVD game from Amazon as I have a monthly internet cap so purchase the on disk version vs downloads.
How does one get it into Origin? I have a PC at the home and a PC at another location. I have a feeling if I can not get it installed in Origin I will be limited to the one PC, rather have it on both as I travel between the two for long periods of time.
Community ManagerSo long as you are logging in with the same Origin account you can play on more than one machine.
Please see this link for info on using your Product Code in Origin: http://help.ea.com/en/article/redeem-your-serial-code-in-origin/
"So long as you are logging in with the same Origin account you can play on more than one machine."
I would think so if it actualy was installed in Origin but it is not. It is not recognized and is played as an attached game. I can launch and play the game with out being signed into Origin.
I uninstalled the game and unvalidated the code and tried to launch it in Origin and it comes up as already used.
Other games I have and installed via disk attached into Origin with no issue. They are Crysis 3, Dead Space 3, Need for speed The Run and Dragon Age Inquisition. Dead Space 2 is the odd duck.
I plan to try re-installing Dead Space 2 today while being logged into Origin and see if that works.
