"system error. please try again later"

I JUST bought the game, excited to play it, and then this :/

Everytime I enter my product key, it says system error. I bought the disc and I know it's not the games fault, it's EA's fault right? Any way to fix this??

I'm having the same problem and I bought the game from discshop.

Little help would be nice...

I am having this same problem RIGHT NOW and I cannot find any info on it.

Found the following:

No idea if it'll work, but have you tried redeeming the code directly in Origin?

1. From the menu along the top click "Origin".
2. Next click "Redeem product code..."

If all else fails I'd recommend contacting an EA Game Advisor:

EA -- Contact Us: https://help.ea.com/contact-us

Before a contact method becomes available you'll need to provide the following information:

--> Product
--> Category
--> Platform

I recently bought Dragon Age 2 digitally. The download and installation went smoothly. My activation code worked just fine. But when I have to sign into Bioware before playing the game, it doesn't recognize my email or activation code. Can someone help?

I have an account.  I updated the password.  all that works.  I entered the product key (checked and rechecked)  It comes up cannot activate from that account  system error  try later  What's up!

Im having the same problem on the PC version each time I try to put in the product code.

I had this problem I had to right click on the icon and pick "run as administrator" and then it would finally activate. So make sure you are logged in as the administrator account and you're running the launch as the administrator. Hope that helps.

I'm having the same problem as well.  I attempted to run as admin but it didn't help.  Same error.
