Convert CD version of sims 4 to Online version

So I bought Sims 4 (CD version) originally for my PC and it worked because i had a disc drive however i recently bought a MacBook Pro 13" With retina display which doesn't have a disc drive i was wondering (instead of buying the game again, for another £50) i could just convert it to an online version?

Kind Regards,

Emily

    @emily1995see Hey, there's no need to do anything of the sort, the disc is just a data storage medium and your account is where the game ownership lies. 

    Just log into the Origin client using the same account you used previously, then you should be able to click on the game panel and start the download. 

    Thanks for the post, I hope this helps. 

  • I was given a disc version, but my computer does not have a disc drive. I do not have an account on Origin. How can I download the game?
