• I had that same problem that you had with SimCity Limited Edition
• and on my other computer I was not able to play Sims 4, Buggle, and Syndicate but I managed to fix that error by Deleting 127.0.0.1 proxy.novafusion.ea.com in the host file and it worked for me also

Right so i read all the above suggestions and nothing worked. But i did find a solution. Disconnect from the internet, try running the game, it should ask you to login to origin, reconnect to the internet and log in. I did this and it activated right away.

@sumireizumi how did you fix it?

@NastyaVicodin - Did you try the accepted solution, under the first post in this thread? https://answers.ea.com/t5/SimCity-2013/We-are-unable-to-connect-to-EA-servers-to-activate-SimCity/m-...

If clearing your host file doesn't work, please check these tips:

Always run installation files "As Administrator"
Firewall and Antivirus - Make sure SimCity.exe and Origin.exe are added to exception lists. If you have BitDefender installed, disable it. 
Origin.exe - Set to run "as administrator"
Nahimic from MSI - this is an audio management program that comes with MSI motherboards. Disable or uninstall it. Nahimic 2 & 3 are known to cause this issue.

Clearing Origin Cache will sometimes help to fix problems of this type. There are some other connection troubleshooting steps located here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/connection-troubleshooting-advanced-pc/
