    The servers that validate access are different from the game servers and will never shut down.
    The servers for Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3 are still online btw. 

    • Close EA app and Steam completely. (not just minimized in the tray.)
    •  Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box..
    •  Enter or copy and paste: "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (Without the quotes) > hit ENTER.
    • Delete the "License" folder.
    • Test.

    This one might be complicated because it is hard to pinpoint the actual error. 
    Do they happen to have another EA account you cloud try, or a friend you trust to log in and download the game on a different machine and launch it? (Change the Password of your EA account afterwards.)
