    @tiamer  The dvd contains DRM that isn't supported by Windows and OS X anymore. The new DRM is Origin. Redeem your codes is Origin and you can get the digital download from Origin. Once the code is in Origin there is no install limit so you can reinstall the game as many times as you like from your Origin account. you will no longer be required to have a disc to play. Origin works a lot like Valve's Steam. All packs and store items have been updated for Origin.

    @tiamer  You can access the game you activated from the Origin account you first used. Login to that Origin account and your game should be there. Once a code is used to activate a game, that code is locked to that Origin account. You can not deactivate a code. Origin is much like Valve's Steam.
