    @evdog2323

    Product codes can only be redeemed once so if yours has already been used, you will need to purchase a new, unused game (Product Code).

    Sorry for the bad news.

    @evdog2323  Windows and OS X no longer support the DRM SecuROM and SafeDisc. Since 2012 the DRM for this game is Origin. The code you get is an activation code and Origin works much like Steam. Once you activate a game with the code - that code is locked to the Origin account in use at that time and can not be re-entered into the system. When you buy this game what you are paying for is a license to use this software under the terms of the EULA (End User License agreement) (the thing you agree to the first time you run the software) - you do not own this software. The disc is generic and contains outdated DRM which will probably not run under the required operating systems. Licensing of software is not new - Microsoft has been licensing the windows operating system for a long time.   hth

    @noitsreallyemily  You are posting on a forum that is supported by the software distributor. It is rude to recommend violating the TOS (Terms Of Service) - Not only is it considerably rude but against the rules of these forums.
