1 License Activation

In order to activate Origin, you need a Product Key.

This License Activation dialog will open every time you start Origin, until you enter a Product Key and complete the licensing process. The dialog can also be manually opened from the Help: Activate License menu item.

NOTE: The background license process will work in most cases. If it fails due to firewall, web server or other internet access issue, use the second edit box to enter the license text manually.
