Re: [Steam] Dragon Age II Activation Error on Launch

Hey, @Ebellz This happens a lot with many older titles. If the EA account and the Steam account are linked correctly, try the following:

Delete EA License Files:

  • Make sure the EA app is closed.
  • Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
  • Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (without the quotes) into the new Window > ENTER.
  • Enable View Hidden Files and Folders
  • Delete all files in the "License" folder.

Please clear your temp files:

  • Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time
  • Into the new window, type or copy & paste: "%temp%" (Without the quotes.) > hit "ENTER".
  • Your Windows Explorer should have brought you to the "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Local\Temp" folder. > Delete all files and folders in it.
  • (If some files or folders can't be deleted, reboot and try again.)

The game is trying to load a registry key that it doesn't see active. Also, make sure that the EA app/Steam and the game are all on the same drive and not separate drives.
