Seems to me like you could sell the game to someone by giving him those ^.

Or maybe I can learn something? (this is not an insult! maybe I can learn something!)
With some existing games you can do that, but it's a hassle. It's linked to an e-mail address, typically, so they'll probably want access to that (although the Ubi system should allow you to redirect to a new e-mail). You'll need to give them your Ubi user account details. For Steam, for example, the registration of that copy of the game is linked to your Steam account. It's not transferrable, so you'd need to give the buyer the details of the Steam account to which it is linked. Not good if you inadvertently linked it to your Steam account with 5 other games on it.

What you can't do is use a 3rd party, like a game store, to re-sell it as they won't take such details. You're likely only to be able to sell it to someone you know, which cuts it from 99.99% of the 2nd hand games market.

That's my understanding of it, for what that's worth.
