Summarize your bug I receive an error saying "Invalid license" every time I try and launch Dragon Age: Origins. Please see attached screenshot. Please help me.

I purchased this game a long time ago and cannot fathom why I would be blocked from launching it. I really just don't know what to do, and this feels really really bad especially after being forced to upgrade to the EA App.

  • Hi, this post did not contain a fix for my problem. I am still getting the exact same error when trying to launch the game. I downloaded what it said to and it did not fix it. I read further into the thread to see if there was more information and I didn't see anything that was helpful in explaining what my other options could be for fixing this. 

  • Still looking for a fix to this issue. Are there any other or more recent potential solutions? Thanks

    @sugargoats Hey, an invalid license with DLL errors is typically a registry mismatch from when the game was downloaded or it is on a different drive than the EA App.

    Try this

    Uninstall the game
    Uninstall the EA App
    Use a registry cleaner - there are a lot of them that are free that work wonders

    Reinstall the EA App
    Reinstall the game from your games library


    If you get the same error, create a new admin account on your PC here - user account
