Re: [PC] Plants vz Zombies - "We could not activate on this computer"

@in2action Thank you so much! I figured it was only the license file so I just deleted the below file and it worked:

C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License\71592.dlf

    Each file is different based on the game, but this step actually works for most older titles that gen this error. I've seen this on Battlefield, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, PvZ, and a few other non-EA games as well.

    Fantastic, I had a feeling there would be something buried in there somewhere :-)

    @ImmenseBeing genius! deleting C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License\71592.dlf works! How did you manage to figure it out?
