Re: Invalid license. error code = missing DLL: [d3dx9_38.dll] Error: 0xC1

Hey,

So this error is a DirectX error typically caused by either missing or corrupted when the game was installed or just outdated programs like DirectX

Typically what I do is install a different EA game as they will always check for these files automatically.

• Open Control Panel > Uninstall a program or Add or Remove Programs, and locate and select a program.
• Depending on your Windows version, select Uninstall, Uninstall/Change, or Remove, and then restart your PC.
• Then, install the software again from scratch, and reboot your computer once more.

If that doesn't work I would do the following:

Install DirectX here DirectX 
Resinatll GPU Drivers with a fresh install checked so it removes old ones and reinstalls new ones
