Well Guess I Cant Use My CD Key for C&C Generals or Zero Hour on Origin

Recommended Posts

After about 4 hours of trying to get my boxed C&C generals to work with origin by contacting EA support, I have no luck. My game was purchased at a local store (new) awhile ago, and now i cant use it with origin like i wanted to (so i wouldn't have to use 4 discs). My Game serial doesn't work because "apparently" they don't have my CD key for C&C generals in the database BUUTTT they have my C&C Generals Zero hour code in the data base, i cant add it to origin because you need the base game. And i know the codes worked, i had used both of them before on my old laptop to play online. well im kinda disappointed...

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of this post. Are you asking us to help you fix the problem? Cause it looks like you've done all you can do.

 

If you're looking for an alternative, you could always buy the Ultimate Collection. It'll put all of your games on Origin and you'll never need a disk again.

It's currently retailing for 19.99 USD, occasionally it goes on sale. Other than that, I'm not really sure what you can do.

After about 5 hours of tech support in live chat and a phone call, they didn't have any left. But the guy on the phone was really cool, and ended up providing me a key to the ultimate collection. EA's phone support is really good actually. So it was worth it.

So you have a key for the Ultimate Collection in addition to your existing Generals and Zero Hour keys? Man, I'd call that a bonus.
