    Hi @salpharre,

    Please, try to log out and log into Origin again. Does it work now?

    If not, did you buy the game through Origin?

    Hi @ameilia2u,

    Did you buy your game in Origin or from another retailer?

    If logging out and logging in again didn't work, please, try to clear your Origin cache following this steps:

    Instructions for Windows:

    1. First, make sure you can view hidden files and folders:
      1. Hit the Start button (or press Win + X for Windows 10).
      2. Click on Control Panel.
      3. Click on Appearance and Personalization, then Folder Options.
      4. Click the View tab.
      5. Under Advanced settings, click Show hidden files and folders, and click OK to save the change.
    2. If Origin is running, close it by clicking Origin in the menu bar then Exit.
    3. Click Start, then Computer, then double-click (C🙂 to open the C:\ drive
    4. Open the ProgramData folder, then the Origin folder, and delete all the files and folders inside it except for LocalContent.
      1. If you’re on Windows XP  you’ll find the ProgramData folder in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data\Electronic Arts\
    5. Go back to C:\:

      2. Open the folder with your  username,

      • Macs have two library folders: a root level folder and a user level library folder (~). Follow the root level folder.
    2. Open the Library folder.
    3. You can either use the keys Command ⌘ + Shift + G or use Finder > Go > Go to Folder.
    4. Open the Application Support folder, then open the Origin folder.

        Hi @ameilia2u,

        That sounds as if you would have two accounts, or some kind of issue with your account. Please, contact one of our advisers through EA Help, and explain them the situation so they can check what's happening.

        You will find a detailed explanation on how to contact them if you need it here.

        If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask 🙂
