In addition to the general guidelines for all platforms, see the rest of this article for more requirements and examples per platform.
Here’s how to provide proof of purchase for PC, Mac, and console games on disk.
We recommend purchasing our downloadable digital games directly from EA platforms like the EA app or trusted retailers.
Unauthorized retailers often offer digital games as CD keys. If you choose to purchase an EA CD key from unknown parties, you risk buying an unauthorized or illegally obtained product.
EA may disable keys suspected of being initially obtained or distributed by unlawful means.
If you bought an EA digital product from an unauthorized party and your key is disabled, you won’t be able to play your game, and we won’t be able to help you with it.
