Re-installing Island Paradise and wasn't given activation code

I purchased SIms 3 Island Paradise through Origin and didn't have problems installing. But, recently, my computer crashed and I needed to re-install my games on the new computer and when I go to install Island Paradise, it's asking for a code. I keep a copy of the original purchase for such occasions and there isn't a activation code listed. 

I ordered it on July 29, 2013 Order Number: <removed for security reasons>  :

The Sims™ 3 Island Paradise
Mac/Win
Serial Number: <removed for security reasons>      

It lists a serial number for the game, but no activation code. The only activation code is for a carnaval costumes pack.

Can I get an activation code please?

  • Check on the origin client.

    Right click on the game and choose Show game details. The code should be there

    If it's not there, log out and back in and/or restart Origin

    I went into Origin and located the game and did a right click as told to. The only items listed under this heading were:

    • Game Links: Epilesy Warning
    • Action: Hide game in Library
    • Support Platforms: PC, MAC
    • Added to Library:  July 29, 2013
    • Product Code: <edit code for security reasons >

    That's it. No Activation Code.

    Thank you that fixed the problem. Never realized the product code and the activation code were the same.

    Happy New Year!
