AFAIK all SH5 versions from wherever require UPlay account and server update to play, the Ubisoft servers being dead for this game since long. All this is a DRM measure.
What's important is that the game can be patched to version 1.2.0. If this is not possible (like the Steam version) the game will not be playable and no patch can be applied to correct that.

So be sure you get the 1.2.0 version and then you have to make a UPlay account for playing.

My experience with Ubisoft server years ago says that all this DRM will cause problems for playing normally. I don't know how UPlay has changed this (and rest assured that these 'servers' will not last forever...)
