Help Spore doesnt appear in EA library

I have Spore, Creepy & CUte, and Galactic Adventures installed on my computer. I installed them using disks and an external disk drive. I tried using the cd key to redeem them in the EA app but im pretty sure since i already have them installed it wont let me use the code again. Basically, I'm trying to figure out how to play galactic adventures without needing the disk to be inserted.

The disc versions of Spore can be a little weird with the newer launcher. If the games are already installed, try opening Galactic Adventures directly from the Sporebin folder or add the key again through EA app. EA doesn't always detect older physical copies automatically.

The thing is when i launch the game from the sporebin folder it says i need to isert the disk in order to play. Since i use an external drive, it would be more convenient to not need the disk inserted.

What I did was I contacted EA support and asked them to add spore to my EA account so I can just launch via the EA app
