That confirms what I was thinking but indeed the code should work.
I do not think this is due to a firewall or something like this but you can still try to verify the settings.
If ever you have Origin installed on your computer you can try to redeem the code via Origin and launch the game via Origin (more details can be found below.)
Can I add an EA game that I purchased outside of Origin to my Origin Game Library?
Currently all EA games released in 2009 or later can be added to your Origin Game Library. We’re working to enable this option for EA’s older titles as well. At this point, all of the following titles are enabled for this feature:
It doesn't work through origin either. The exact same thing happens. It accepts the cd key to add it to your library but then every time you try to play, an activation wizard menu comes up, and the same loop happens where this menu pops up every time you hit play and the game still won't launch.
Doesn't work for me, still the same issue.
Alright, thank you for having tried and for this confirmation.
I don't think the issue is related to the code itself because you all got the game activated or at least the confirmation.
I know the Original poster has tried to update the graphic card drivers and I would like to ask you to try this as well.
I just post below the system requirements but I am sure your system reaches these requirements.

Hey everyone, I got mine to work. Download the game through origin, then go into the origin games folder, then shift 2 unleashed, then change the name of the shift2u application and then launch the application and the game should run. I changed mine to shift2 and it works now. Somebody suggested it to me and I have no idea why it works.
