The Sims 3 Supernatural product key problem

I bought The Sims 3 Supernatural last year, only opened the game today to install. The game key that's printed in the box for installation purposes is only 4 series long instead of the 5 required. How can i get EA to help me with this?

    that's a 16 digit code for DLC content ( depending on the expired date on the leaflet that may be no good )

    the 20 digit code should be on the back of the black and white  leaflet how to install the game

    Yip, the code on the back of the booklet is 16 digits long, but the installer is asking for 20 digits.

    I'd still try and contact CS they  may have some other way for you to show proof of purchase that you could attach to your ticket
