[Old Report] Pvz GOTY edition could not activate using this account

we ve notice youre computer is currenly offline To activate your game on this computer using your Origin account you ll need to connect to the internet 

i did it and it still shows the thing 

ya i am really mad since i see not fix

i have done that but it still says avtivation key

i'm so sorry pal.
your game is broken.
i fixed it cause my game was launching in my native language and i switch it to english.
other found this solution acceptable others not (english native mostly)

putting a solution something so random such as "keep trying to access" is so bad.
you are putting this problem under your shoes, saying other people are just bad and didn't try it.
very bad from you and EA assistance,
already having to switch language for a 2017 games is a joke otherwise you can't play it,
assistance was a joke asking me more than 10 times to show them a prove i owned the game.
at least put as solution something valid not a random thing like that.
that worked only for you in your specific case.
the switching language thing helped more people than this, and i'm sure it will help more

Yup. here I am April 2024 and still having the issue, I am not able and have not been able to play because it asks for a key then it tells you that there is no internet
