Cannot Launch Mirror's Edge, due to "Problem Contacting License Server"

Part Deux of EA ridiculousness,  I cannot launch my copy of Mirror's Edge, thanks to a wonderful message that says: "The game cannot start.  There seems to be a problem contacting the license server...

    The fix here, for anyone looking, is to use the paul.dll files and winui.dll files from another EA game that is targeted for Windows 7 and above, such as Medal of Honor (2010).  Take these two .dll files from the Binaries folder of this newer game, CTRL+C to copy them, move to the Mirror's Edge Binaries folder, CTRL+V to replace the old Mirror's Edge files, and confirm when asked.

    The fact that EA has not addressed something this simple by replacing the files in the install is astounding.

Hey, I know I'm a little late to the party but just in case it's still an issue for some, I downloaded the "Origin Fix" from PCGamingWiki which also fixes the PhysX Issues. Game runs like a charm now on my end!
