Yes, when I open the game and select play, it opens uplay menu. However SH5 is not in my uplay list (its the only game i have with uplay too). And i created an account, and logged in. Im not sure what else to do...is there a way to get into SH5 and bypass uplay menu?

uninstall and reinstall. Since you are installing from CD you should get an activation window to activate your cd key, does that happen? Then you create the uplay account which you said you did, right? but when you log on to uplay silent hunter is not there. only thing I can think is uninstall and reinstall. you can go in to the uplay settings and set it to offline mode, not sure that would help any in this case though. uplay is not seeing your game.

Default CD activation code

After a half hour of frustration rising to panic, I found the activation codes for the CD on the reverse side of the inside cover paper.

Post #74 Run Both SH5.exe And Ubisoft Game Launcher Application's As Administrator's
Post #5 Update SH5 From v1.0.5.0 To v1.2.0 Immediately After Installing

I would go to the Control Panel Programs and Features and uninstall the
Ubisoft/Uplay Game Launcher.
When uninstalling and before re-installing you need to use a free registry cleaner and re-boot your system before re-instaalling.
Post #70 How To Use The Free Registry Cleaner 'Ccleaner' > Includes Download Link

Install this genuine Game Launcher but not in the Program File (x86) directory
Post #97 SH5 Game Launcher Install It Anywhere On Any Drive

If you have a dvd and as long as it is new and not second hand then there is no reason why this should not be recognized by Uplay.
On creating a Uplay account you should get an email message.
To create an account you need.
A login name.
Password.
Part of the dvd Installation process automatically takes you to Uplay where you will be asked to enter the CD registration key which comes with each disc and is locked to it.
IIRC I do not see in your posts that you mention a CD key anywhere or having been asked for it.
