    :D You were fast!

    We made some changes in order to try to fix this issue, but you didn't give us enough time to test it for all the games. 😉

    Glad to hear it's working for you with Need for Speed Undercover! If anyone tries other games, please let us know how it goes!

    Thanks,

@holger1405

the boxed version of mirror's edge uses this online activation

if you use the game's license in the boxed version, then you get the same version on Origin with online activation by securom

you get the same thing in downloading, it just matches the license.

it's going to depend on where and in what form you bought the game.
 
 
 

-purchase on origin : no activation with securom apparently / origin activation ?

-box purchase : securom activation and paul.dll problem

-dematerialized version of origin with the box installation key : securom activation and paul.dll problem

If you redeem an old key in Origin and download a digital version of the game you will not get a game version that uses the old securom DRM, regardless of the way you obtained the key.

 

There is only one version you can get throughout Origin.

    I assure you that you are wrong


    I am using an old boxed game key and origin makes me download a version with securom

    I prove it to you in video and you will be obliged to offer me a game on origin! okay ? 🙂

    I will clear things up with an EA CM.
