I can't register for SPORE (Bought on Steam)

For some reason, I can't register for an account on SPORE. Can you guys help me? I really want to download other people creations and upload mine to the Spore Universe.

    Hi, I am having a similar problem, but mine cannot be solved by these help messages below, I hope though that they can help you, they are simply copied from here: http://help.ea.com/en/article/account-creation-or-login-issues/

    Hope this helps! I know how it feels to be stuck with the Maxis creations *Shiver*

    Login failed: You do not have the proper spore.com privileges:
    This issue should now be resolved. If you were previously seeing the error message "Login failed: You do not have the proper spore.com privileges" please try logging in once again.

    If you still see the error message, you may have an issue with the login file that is in the Spore folder.

    To fix this issue, try browsing to the Spore folder and remove the login.prop file by following the instructions below:

    • Double-click on My Computer.
    • Double-click on the C: drive.
    • Double-click on Documents and Settings.
    • Double-click on your User Name.
    • Double-click on Application Data.
    • Note: The Application Data folder may be hidden. To unhide it, go to the Tools menu and select Folder Options. Click on the View tab and select Show hidden files and folders in the Advanced Settings box.
    • Double-click Spore.
    • Then double-click Preferences.
    • This folder should contain the login.prop file. Right-click and delete this file and then restart Spore.

    If you continue receive the error after trying the steps above, try logging in in the following way:

    For your log in, enter your email and screen name separated by a colon. For example:
    [edit: email address removed]😕creen name

    Enter your password as normal and login.

    Please note: All Spore screen names created under one Master Account will use the same email address and password to access the game and website.
    To log in with a specific Screen Name, put a colon ( : ) and the desired screen name after the E-mail address on the login screen.
    Examples

    • [edit: email address removed]:MaxisDoofus
    • [edit: email address removed]:DoofusJr
    • [edit: email address removed]:DoofusDaughter
