BF3 | EA app| Activation code

[FILPITILMOULAK]

Hello,

I bought BF3 3 years ago and today tried to install it and play again from the EA app. 

Issue: When i try to connect to a server or launch any gamemode ( campaign, etc...) i get prompted with and activation window asking me to activate the product( joined pictures ), Or the game should be activated already ? i even have achievement showing on the launcher. 

What i tried: Reinstalling BF3/ EA app, tried to folow online fix but couldn't find one for EA app. 

Plz help

FIXED 

This is a fix if you face this problem with EA app, NOT STEAM. 

First step : 
Download Origin installer and EA app installer

2: 
Delete every files from EA and ORIGIN in ( EXEPT EA Games ) : - C:\Program Files
                                                                                                         - C:\Program Files (x86)

                                                                                                         - C:\ProgramData ( this is and hidden file, you will need to activate the preview of hidden files in your file explorator) 

                                                                                                         - %appdata%/Origin

                                                                                                         - %appdata%/EA 

                                                                                                         - Every other files related to EA or origin on your PC EXEPT the installers 
3: 
Install Origin, Dont select any options proposed in the instalation exept the shortcut creation 

4:
Log into your account ( same as EA app), Refresh Game library, then quit. 

5:
Install EA app and launch BF3, Should be fixed. 

OOC:
Those steps alow the game to look for the initial Origin key files. Because 1 very bad team of devs didn't bother to update an old game to change the location of the key files in the new EA app folder. 
This asside, i am not pay to find this solution, How can a full support team is not able to find something a geek found in his dark bedrom in less than 24 hours ? 
Seriously this is a shame, EA is one of the worst gaming compagny in the world, fighting real hard for the number 1. 
With this incident you guys manage to make me resolved to not buy any games comming from EA from this point, GOOD JOB!
