How do I get the updated Witch Hunt with my Ultimate Edition?

It has been very confusing trying to figure out how to unlock the DLC for DAO with the new Origins site in addition to the old Bioware Social Network. I was unable to get the Bioware site to recognize the redeem code, but I followed some vague mention on that site to log in to Origins and was able to redeem the code there. On the Bioware Social site it does not show the DAO game on my registered game content, so I cannot get the Witch Hunt update version 1.1 mentioned on the game patches download page. How do I get this using the Origin site? Or is there some way to get the Bioware site to recognize my content from the Origin site? This is all very confusing and any help is much appreciated. Note: I have checked my Witch Hunt version in my addins file and it is showing version 1.0, so I definitely did not get the updated version of Witch Hunt through the Origin site download.

    Ok, if you have the Ultimate Edition you should already have the updated (v1.1) Witch Hunt files.  (Or at least have all of the DLC "authorized" for your account, so you can download it.)

    You can confirm if you have v1.1 by searching your HDD for:

     "...\<user's programs folder>\Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition\Addins\dao_prc_str\module\patch\patch000.erf", dated 05/17/2010.

    (Note 1:  If you don't have the Ultimate Edition installed, then the DLC are in the "\addins" folder under your user profile.)

    (Note 2:  There are "patch00x.erf" files all over the DAO install and DLC folders, so be sure you're checking under "...\dao_prc_str".)

    But if you really don't have it, you'll need to contact EA Customer Service folk at:  http://help.ea.com.  They are the only ones who can assist with account/authorization issues.
