Command And Conquer: The First Decade.
Hi,
I have an old physical copy of CnC:TFD, however my laptop doesn't have a DVD drive thus I cannot load it, despite all the codes working correctly with the DVD, they do not work with Origin, I have been on the Support chat and they said there was nothing they could help with and sent me here. I have seen other forums posts on this topic that have managed to get some help, hoping for the same.

Islam
Ok the code does not work
Islam
how old is the CD
you
I think it came out in 2006 looking at the copyright on the back
Islam
Oh unfortunately we do have a warranty policy to replace the CD but it has to be 12 month old : (
Islam
I wish there is something I can assist with : (
you
It works with the DVD though, it's just I can't use the DVD on my laptop, I thought the code would be the same for Origin as it is for the disk.
Islam
Not really the code you have to redeemed it in the start of the game if you like to get the soft copy of the game and since you have not done that then no : (
Islam
if you also have ever redeemed the code in the account before then you do not need to redeem it again since the game will be automatically in your Origin once you login you can download it again and again regardless on which PC or laptop
you
Hmm, I've never redeemed it in Origin, I think the game came out before Origin was around. I have seen other forum posts on here with similar issues on this game that have been resolved.
Islam
OK give me a minute let me try something
Islam
well I have tried unfortunately there is nothing we can do : ( , you can also post in the forums and the studio team will answer you directly
