Interesting. And what's the matter with EA games purchased in other DD stores. I bought DAO and ME2 from D2D and activated the product keys in EADM.

I can confirm the following:

Dead Space from Steam works.
Dragon Age: Origins DDE from GamersGate works.
Mass Effect from Steam works.
Mass Effect 2 DDE from GamersGate works.
Mirror's Edge from Steam doesn't give you a key so you can't register it. The DLC doesn't work with the Steam version either.

Here's a full list of what I have tried:

C&C 3 Retail - No
Kane's Wrath Retail - No
Red Alert 3 Retail - Yes
Mercenaries 2 Retail - No
Need For Speed Carbon Retail - No
Need For Speed Pro Street Retail - No
Need For Speed Undercover Retail - Yes
Dead Space Retail - Yes
Mass Effect Retail - No
Mass Effect 2 Digital - Yes
Crysis Retail - No
Crysis Warhead Retail - No
Burnout Paradise Retail - Yes
Crysis 2 Digital - Yes
Dragon Age Origins Digital - Yes
Dragon Age Origins Awakening Digital - Yes
Dragon Age 2 Digital - No (It does however show up through your Bioware account)
Medal of Honor Digital - Yes
Need For Speed Shift Digital - Yes
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Digital - Yes
Shift 2 Unleashed Digital - Yes
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Digital - Yes

SimCity 4 - Deluxe from Gamesplanet ( digital download )
doesn't give you a key so you can't register it.

The Sims 3 Ambitions D2D - yes
The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff D2D - yes
SimCity Societies D2D - yes
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 D2D - yes
Mirror's Edge D2D - yes
Command and Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising D2D - yes

Dead Space on Steam: does not let me see the product key
Mass Effect on Steam: EADM says the product key is invalid

Wow, nice update. I like what I have seen so far.

Tried some activations:

Mirror's Edge D2D - yes
Need For Speed Shift UK D2D - yes
Battlefield Bad Company 2 GamersGate - yes (it registered as Digital Deluxe Edition)
Dragon Age: Origins Digital Deluxe Edition GamersGate - yes
Medal of Honor Airborne GamersGate - no
Mass Effect 2 GamersGate - yes
SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition GamersGate - no (no key to activate)
The Saboteur GamersGate - yes
Crysis (retail Czech version) - no

I think Dead Space didn't have the View CD key option but it had a register game option or something like that. If not check the registry for this entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Dead Space\ergc

The value should be your CD key.

For Mass Effect try to register your key in this link: https://activate.ea.com/applyentitlement.do
Use the same email account that you use for EADM.


On another topic. I've found that EADM crashes if I leave the friends list open while playing. There was no message when it crashed but the overlay stopped working and the EADM tray icon disappeared when I exited the game. If I just leave the browser open I can play for hours without it crashing.

Dragon Age Ultimate RETAIL - yes
Dragon age II RETAIL - yes
Mass Effect RETAIL - yes
Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition RETAIL - yes
Simcity 4 Deluxe GAMESTATION (the £0.09 Christmas thing) - yes
Simcity 4 Deluxe RETAIL - no
Dead Space STEAM - yes
Crysis STEAM - no
Crysis Warhead STEAM - no
Crysis Wars STEAM - no

Sad panda. :(

Any chance of that being sorted out if I contact EA support?

Possible. I haven't thought to ask as I think it's a bit cheeky but then again it's really, REALLY nice to have digital backups of your retail games. I don't think it's that unreasonable to ask for games that are available on the EA Store to also sync with retail keys.

OK, I'll give it a shot. Main reason is that my drive is nearly dead and doesn't like most DVDs. I have to make an image on my home PC (which died like two days ago, so that is out of the question), then install the game and search for a proper 64 bit crack for Windows 7 which sadly doesn't exist. :(

Therefor, the EADM version would be nice. I'll ask support.

Thank you!

Mas Effect activation does not work even on that link. I will try Dead Space once I get home.

Games you can't register:
Spore (The Game itself)

Games you can register:
All Spore Extensions

:)

Okay, the game is shit, but anyhow it is a EA Title that uses the Download Manager :)
And because of that I wonder why it is not possible to register the original game ;)

Thank you SO much!!! It works! Aw, happiness. =D

Dead Space activation works this way, thanks!
