So, can I use the codes again when I reinstall the game on my new rig, or should I wait to install them for the first time with the new machine. Sorry, if this has been asked before but I did a search with "one time use code" and came up blank. Then again I pretty much suck with the seach options.
One time only activation?

I've noticed that all the free extra content I've recieved with my CE DAO game, (including Shale), comes with the asterisk warning "One time use code." My question/problem is that I'm installing DAO on my old rig which barely meets the minimum requirements which is why in a few week I'm getting a new rig, (so I can max the bleep out of the game without breaking a sweat). However, if I understand the one time use "rule" correctly, I won't be able to reinstall the all free stuff. And I'm certainly not going to pay for the Shale addon, when it was originally free for me.

It ties into your account.

the codes are not tied to your computer.
They are linked to your EA Account (The account you log in with within the game).
You can just install on the new computer, log in using the same account, and you should still have access to all the DLCs you previously linked.

The items, and all DLC content lock to your account, not the particular install. That is why you have to login to retrieve it / enter in your codes in the first place.

You should have a profile set up that shows you have downloaded this stuff and own it. New machines, etc. should not preclude you from downloading them again for free.

The code can only be used "one time only" with one account. But once your account owns that content, you can re-downloaded.

You dont need to activate it again. Just use the same log in name and password when you log in at the game's main menu and you can dwonload all of the DLC linked to your account.

It's tied to the account here so if you login using the same account on the new computer it should be fine.

I think it would be safer to install them on the new one.

Would interest me as well.
I hope that the downloads are bound to your account, so that you can download/install them whenever you want.
So is it that you redeem the extras for your account for infinite use?
Or is it really once only? That would be sad and pintless imho.
I guess the former is correct, can someone confirm?

First off, thanks for all the replies. It seems the majority here thinks that the dl's are linked to my online account which would be great and mean that reinstalling to the game on my new rig wouldn't be a problem...However, it would be nice if we could get an official response to confirm this.
