missing CD product key

I wanted to reinstall my Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition to my new PC, but I have lost the cd key needed to install.


Is there anyway I can retrieve the key or get a replacement?

  • If you registered your game on the BioWare site when you first installed it, then the EA Game Advisors can review your account and determine what's been authenticated (games and DLC.)

    While, they may or may not provide you with the code itself, I know they can authorize your EA/Origin account to download and install it.  😕mileywink:

    Reach them by using the "Contact us" link at the Help Center.

    Good Luck!

    Is there hope for me if I lost CD product key, never able to register product online, but still have original CDs, for Dragon Age origins ultimate edition, and still have the unused product key for the additional content packs which required online access?

    Had downloaded Origins on another computer, the hard drive had died so I didn't play past intro, and I had not registered as at the time, I lived in area with no internet.  I would like to play game but not to the extent that I want to pay again for something I already bought.  No product key on CD or game case, so it must have been on something else.  Can't remember if game came with a booklet or what.

    Is there a CD check DRM function that will work via internet?

  • The product key for the original, physical box, retail disc version of DAO is printed on the back of the manual at the very top. It's a 20-character code, (5 groups of four.) If you never registered the game with BioWare or EA, and you don't have that code, then you're out of luck.

    (Anyone can use the discs + code to get the game installed, then pass/sell the discs to someone else. So having the discs themselves is proof of nothing.)
