This is strange.


It should not ask you for a serial code after you've installed it.

Does it specifially say it needs the seasons code ? Maybe it needs to be the base game one.

      Wonder if something is blocking the connection to Origin so that it doesn't go through properly. Try disabling firewall and Antivirus.

      If that works, add Origin as an exception.
