Hi,

That really depends on what USB device are you referring to. If you use a USB external hard drive to install the game, most likely when you disconnect, removed or make changes to the drive, this could trigger an activation. If you are referring to a USB printer or controller, this should not cause any issue.

I hope that the information I have given will be of service with you.

Should you require further assistance about this or any Electronic Arts games in the future please visit our website and review our extensive Self Help knowledgebase (http://electronicarts.co.uk/support).
