How to install SimCity from the disc / disk (DVD) instead of downloading?

[MommaSamKay]

I have tried to install my SIMCITY 4 several different times and ways. I have put in both disks that came in the case. My copy is a used copy. I have the latest Windows and my PC is up to date. However my SIMCITY 4 doesn't say Origin on it but says Cosmi and EA GAMES. I have tried going to Run programs and even tried to manually set up from the disk files... but there is no option. PLEASE HELP

Since EA does not support the resale of any game that has been registered, the odds are that you would have found the game's CD-Key already locked to the previous owner's player account, and not available for either install or download.
