SH-5 Install Keycode "used already"

Hit the SH5 shorcut to start the game. The game will patch itself and will open that damn browser again to register. Close it again and use the desktop shortcut to start the game. On the login screen as far as I remember you have the option to register or login. It should be something like "Already registered? Enter your ID here" .. or something. Just read careful that panel and you should able to access the login screen where you need to enter your ID and pass.

Just don't rush it and don't panic. And most important, close the browser, you have nothing to do on Ubi website. Do all these in the game login screen, not in the browser!

Hi again Magnum


Thanks for your advice and of course you're right!

When I got to the box #2 below I just hit the Log out and there it was -
just entered my details and now I'm back hunting them down.


BTW, thanks to all of you!!

As always in this community solutions are never far away. Reliable as my Magnum 45!

Hope to see you soon again, hopefully with more positive matters.

Now I'm on to battle stations.

As I remember this it's done in the browser window that opens up during installing. Or am I wrong?
