Can't access Battlefield 2042 Early Access with EA Play Pro

I pre-ordered BF2042 before the beta and played it for a while then. Now I've purchased EA Play Pro so I can play the game in early access (starting today). However, I still can't play the game, it says I can play it on the 19th of November which is the normal start date, not the early access.

Shouldn't EA Play Pro give early access? Does anyone else have the same problem?

Thanks.

    @Bright_Iron_x I had the same problem and I fixed it by using Origin, instead of the EA Desktop app. Open Origin, go to the game, and you should see an "Upgrade to Ultimate" button. Click on that, and you should be able to launch it, hopefully.

    That would be because there is no functionality yet to upgrade to another version through the EA app. 

    So if you purchased the Standard Edition and then purchased EA Play Pro, then you won't be able to upgrade it to the Ultimate Edition of BF 2042 (yet). Origin does have that feature and you can upgrade the version through there. 

    Hopefully this gave a bit of insight and that was some excellent detective work on your end.
