@makaelagodwin  Did you redeem the codes in Origin? Do you have access to the old computer and it wasn't reformatted? Is your computer a pc or mac? The discs are generic and the software on the discs is dated. The discs have SecuROM and SafeDisc for DRM. These were replaced by Origin when Microsoft Windows will no longer support the old DRM. What you pay for is the activation code. Once the code is used with SecuROM the code was stored on the local computer. Origin is like Valve's Steam. Once you activate a game the code is no longer needed and you can reinstall from Origin with the digital download. So if you have an Origin account just download the Origin client and log in using the same login you used to create the Origin account.
