Re installation of Plants vs Zombies

Hi,

I have problem reinstalling the game after my harddisk crash. It says code already used. How do I reinstall again ? It is difficult to get EA support.

    If you do not use the correct player account, you cannot get a free download.  Registrations are not tied to eMail addresses or to User ID names, but to the accounts.  A Game Adviser can sort things out for you if you cannot.  All of them are on Help Center, not in here on Answer HQ.

    The Origin systrem gets in the way when you want to reinstall from hard media.  It is simpler overall to accept a free digital download copy and install that. Some older games, Origin may be less obstructive, but not the recent ones.

    I tried to redeem the code via my account. Unfortunately I have bigger problem that I can remember the user iD. I have the serial key but I am unable to download the digital code because it keeps saying it is already used.

    It will be miracle if I could only reach anyone from Game Adviser. I have only the code but unable to recall the player name created unfortunately. Wish someone out there could just help me with this which otherwise my experience with EA games will not be pleasant. Anyway, you have been great and I will treat this problem of mine resolved by you. Thanks, very much.
