Thanks for your help folks. My computer has smoothly moved backwards from letting me log on ok but saying the cd-key is already used to now saying 'this game requires an internet connection' before even completing the logon. I have a PhD in computer science and I'm pretty sure there's nothing broken with my internet connection, so after a few hours trying to get this legit copy of SH5 migrated to the new PC it's time to give up and call Ubisoft when they come back to work in a couple of days...
For every post on the web about resolving issues with the install there's about a million just complaining about the hassle of the DRM which makes helpful posts hard to find, so thanks.
cheers,
Bamzors
