It's unlikely, usually this is due to a local tech-related issue that prevents the correct info from being written locally. Normally the repair steps will overwrite the local license, I'm not sure why it's not working now.

Thanks, sorry that the regular steps aren't doing the job.

I want to try from a different angle, can you go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\__Installer\vc\vc2005\redist and run the application there as an administrator?

  No help either.
  I also manually uninstalled this program from my computer and installed it again from that folder. Did a repair also.

    Please make sure that the automatic update funktion in Origin is enabled. In Origin > Origin (in the menu bar) > Application Settings > Automagically keep my games up to date.
