Invalid license. Reason Code = Invalid Cipher (0x0006)"‎

I have had a lot of trouble with Battlefront II not launching. When I launch the game, it says "Sorry an error ocurred. Invalid license. Reason Code = Invalid Cipher (0x0006)". This happened out of nowhere. Nothing was downloaded, nor did anything crash. In fact I had been playing perfectly fine up until a month or so ago. I have "Repaired/Fixed" the game in Origin, but nothing worked. I have been in contact with EA and here are the ideas that both technical support and myself have tried with none of them working, so they directed me here.

* Uninstalled Battlefront II then Reinstalled

* Uninstalled both Origin and EA Beta Launcher and only reinstalled Origin (side note: EA Beta did work several months ago)

* Checked for Malware/Viruses

* EA told me to do the following: "Please follow these steps as mentioned in the given order: Completely log out and close down Origin Hold down the Windows key and R Type in "%ProgramData%" (without quotes) and click OK Now open the Origin folder. Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for LocalContent (do not delete this one) Hold down the Windows key and R

        Type in "%AppData%" (without quotes) and click OK This will take you to a Roaming folder, which is located inside of AppData. Delete the Origin folder Click on the word "AppData" at the top of your window Open the Local folder here Delete the Origin folder listed here Restart your PC and log back into Origin

* Was told by another EA advisor to "download latest Graphics Drivers, insure I am running the latest version of Origin.

* Was told by another EA advisor to Repair/Fix Battlefront II in Origin.

*Was told by another EA advisor to insure my internet connection wasn't a problem, and my internet connection is currently good. My current download speed is: 166.89 Mbps. Upload speed: 94.22 Mbps

*Was told by another EA advisor  “Please try to change the game properties and let me know if it works.” However, nothing in my game properties seemed to be effecting anything.

*Was told by another EA advisor to "Clean Boot my PC using an EA article. However that didn't work, and I attempted it twice.

If anyone has any ideas of what I could do, I will be your best friend. 

Would a hard pc wipe and reinstalling stuff fix this? Or is the only option left to make a new Origin account and rebuy Battlefront 2?

Thank you for your time!

    That's got to be frustrating, particularly given the amount of time you've spent troubleshooting.

    Did you try everything mentioned in the 5+ other posts in this forum when searching "Invalid Cipher (0x0006)"?

    Something was off with licensing at least yesterday (possibly Saturday, as well). EA Desktop was showing I didn't own games, which I did. Now it appears to be back to normal.

    You may want to give it another go.

    I redownloaded Battlefront 2, however it's still doing it. You had mentioned that licensing was off the past couple days. Unfortunetely this problem has been going on for almost 2 months now sadly. I guess I don't even know what the problem is.  Does the game think I don't have a valid license code for Battlefront?

    That is what the error message implies. However, I'm not sure.

    I can see why EA support might direct you to the user forum - i.e. to see if anyone else figured out what it was about. However, EA Support is ultimately responsible for resolving the issue for you, not the other players you find on this forum.

    I suggest you go back to EA Support and let them know you gave AHQ a go, but it didn't work out. They need to fix it for you. If they don't, get back to me and I'll see if I can light a fire with one of my contacts at EA.

    So I wanted to keep you updated, EA told me to make a local account and try launching Battlefront 2 from it, still nothing. And they also had me to a "compatability test" still nothing but I don't have the option to live chat anymore tonight, so I'll try them again tomorrow

    It hasn't gone well. I contacted them again, and tried a laundry list of ideas including creating a local account on my computer and launching it from a different account and running a compatability test to which neither worked, .  I am going to try and make a new account and rebuy the game and see if it launches. Then if it does, I'll refund the game. That way I know if it's on my account or computer.
