Exactly my problem, I bought the physical media CD in mid-2013, 14, I have until today the key in hand. Unfortunately I started having this problem 1 week ago. My PREMIUM disappeared from the library and I can no longer play, is demanding key.
I hope very much that the EA team solve it soon, but honestly to with very low hopes.

I am having exactly this same problem. My game was obtained many years ago by physical media CD. I have the key to this day as proof.
Have you found a solution? I love this game too much, but I can't play it.

EA app is in a running state. When I start the Battlefield 3 EA app tries to start again, it turns out the EA app starts 2 times. you can see it in the screenshot

I saw that most people with this error asking for activation key occurs more by the units purchased on Steam.
But I bought my game on physical media DVD and I'm having the same error.
Anyone here bought the game directly from the ORIGIN / EA store and is having this problem or is it just who bought the game externally?
