Origin won't take my spore key

Hi, I bought spore a long time ago (like near launch) before Origin even existed I'm pretty sure. Well, my laptop doesn't have a disc drive so I decided to try to download it though the origin client...

Hi @TheBigSausageMan

Spore is an older game, it is not always possible to redeem the code through Origin.

In this case, its better you contact a game advisor. I am sure he can help you

It sounds like you have used the key previously on an older machine.

You will need to contact EA Support and provide them with your CD Key so that they can entitle you for an Origin download version.

Spore is a pre-Origin game so didn't have the functionality of newer titles where CD Keys automatically give you the Origin version too.
