[PC] Mass Effect 1 (2007) wait for release date error

I recently downloaded mass effect 1 (2007) not legacy edition,  and when I try to run the game it asks for admin which, it's already in the properties to run as admin but I grant again then it tells me to wait for the release date of () and then tells me to go back to hub...

I tried contacting EA support line and got told my gamecode on the pamphlet isn't findable and got told to take it back to the retailer(8 years later the store has closed down) (keep in mind only my CD key is external to the EA app everything else is from the EA app)

I installed the game when it was origin and it played perfectly fine, now, new PC and EA app install (downloaded and installed through app, only my CD key isnt off the App) and I get a release date message

Is there a way to tell the date checker that it is 17 years after release date and I can play it?

me legendary edition

    • Right click on the  clock in the bottom right corner.
    • Click "Adjust Date/Time"
    • Make sure "Set Time Automatically" is activated.
    • Under "Additional Settings" > click on the "Sync Now" button to re-sync your clock.
    • Make sure that settings under "Language and Region" are correct.
    • Restart your PC > Test.

    If that don't helps:

    1. Create a new Windows user account  (Administrator) don't use local special characters, use only  Characters from the ASCII table

    2. Reboot > Log in to the new user account.

    3.Test.
