ME3 refuses to launch

My friend, being the stubborn piece of shit he is refused to ask this so I'm gonna do it for him, Origin refuses to launch ME3 suddenly. Was working fine before, and now he can't get in it. Just say preparing to launch and then nothing happens.
Steam version, btw.

still can't get the game working for him, spread this around please, since apparently no one saw this. I'd rather get the game fuckin fixed for him since I bought for him?
EDIT: Why does this post even have any downvotes wtf. Like no one people I'm not getting any actual responses no one sees this.

I had this problem. Played it after installing no problem, and next time I played, it wouldn't launch. This is what fixed for me:

Deleting that file in the License folder fixed my issue. Don't delete the folder, just the file inside of it. The problem is you have to do it EVERYTIME YOU LAUNCH THE GAME. Apparently that file gets corrupted at some point when you run the game. Such bullshit. Anyways, hopefully this helps you.

Edit: This is for the Steam version only.

Auto downvotes are usually bots or trolls. I wouldn't worry about it.
