@patchesnicolene  Once a game/pack is activated in Origin, the activation code is locked to the account in use at that time. That code can NOT be user deactivated. Origin DRM works a lot like Valve's Steam. I have games in Steam and I know of no way to deactivate the game from my account so that game can be activated with another account. When the game/pack is purchased you do not own the game/pack. What you pay for is a license to use the software. Under EA EULA (end user license agreement) - you know the thing nobody reads - that license is for use by the person who purchases the license. If the game is the only thing in that account you can use that account and change the Origin preferences so only you have access to that account.
