Assuming you have a verified, unused product key:

Install the EA App (or Origin, if still functional on your OS).
Click "Redeem Code" (Usually in the top left menu or under the "..." menu for games).
Enter your 20-digit key including hyphens. Do not copy-paste from a PDF unless it is plain text; hidden spaces kill keys.
Install the game. The EA App will download NFS Hot Pursuit (2010).
Alternate method (DVD): Insert Disc 1. Run Setup.exe. Enter key when prompted. Note: You will still need to log into the EA App to verify the key, even from a disc.

The product key experience differs wildly based on where you bought it. The original Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010)

Critical Warning for Physical Keys: If you buy a boxed 2010 PC DVD, the disc contains SecuROM DRM (unstable on Windows 10/11). You cannot simply enter the key and install. Instead, you must redeem that same product key inside the EA App (desktop client) to claim a modern digital download. If the key was already redeemed by a previous owner, it is worthless.

Error 1: The Key is tied to another account.

EA's policy: Keys are one-time use. If the previous owner activated it on their EA account, it is dead to you. You cannot transfer ownership of a 2010 digital key.

The Two Pillars of the Key

Authentication: It proves you bought a legitimate copy.
Online Access (Autolog): The most revolutionary feature of NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 was Autolog—a social network for racers. Without a valid key tied to your EA Account, you cannot access online multiplayer, compare times with friends, or download speedwall updates.
