F1 23 activation

I purchased F1 23 from CD Keys for pc.

I entered this on the EA pc app and this was actioned without any issue so I  expected the full game to be downloaded and available. Unfortunately I  have only got the 5 day trial.

As your system has taken the code for activation there is nothing CD Keys can do.

Can someone contact me with a solution please.

Regards Steve

    HI @kangaroo10 

    Thanks for reaching out to the F1 23 community here on Answers HQ!

    To confirm if you purchase the code from CD Keys you will need to reach out to them for further assistance with the order. 

    Our support can only verify and assist with orders done through the EA app (formerly Origin) and ea.com, purchases on other platforms will require you to speak with your retailer. 

    For more information on purchasing EA digital download games games check out our help article: Where to buy EA digital download games and virtual currency

    Additional Information

    Hope this helps!   

  • I have already contacted them  and they have confirmed the activation code is valide, and as you have taken the code entered on your system they cannot do anything as you have accepted the code for the purchase.

    I have re-entered the code and receive the message stating this code has already been used.

    So where do I get the full game that I have paid for?

    Regards Steve

    Hi @kangaroo10 

    To confirm you will need to continue speaking with CD Keys If you purchased a game code from a non-trusted retailer (see our help article: Where to buy EA digital download games and virtual currency) and run into issues with the game code redeeming, providing a full copy of the game, or any additional issues our support is unable to verify the purchase or provide order assistance. 

    Thanks!


    What if I purchase from unauthorized digital retailers?
    Buying EA digital games from unauthorized sellers comes with a few risks. The following information can help keep you and your account protected.

    Our games are sold at various online and in-store retailers across the world, but sometimes these retailers aren't all they seem to be.

    Each purchase made from an unauthorized retailer carries risk. Make sure to keep your account and personal information safe.

    • At best, you might get the wrong product or language version of a game you buy.
    • At worst, unauthorized websites may be phishing for your EA Account or payment info. This can result in losing access to your account or fraudulent activity with your payment details.
    • It’s also possible that unauthorized retailers will sell you a fake, used, or stolen CD key or Product Code.
    • Additionally, any illegally obtained games and Product Codes will be disabled by us. That means you won’t be able to play your game or redeem your virtual currencies.
    • EA Advisors won't be able to help you with games you bought from unauthorized retailers or illegally.

    How do I know if I can trust a retailer?
    Check out the game you want to buy at several different stores and compare the prices. If an offer seems too good to be true, then it usually is. Unauthorized retailers often offer games at much cheaper prices than you’ll see on trusted retailer sites, like the ones listed above.

    We want you to have the best experience, but we can’t help with purchases made through an unauthorized digital retailer.

    If you purchase EA digital products from an unauthorized party and the CD key or product code is disabled, we won’t be able to help you.

    Here are some tips to help keep your account safe.
