Default Problem getting Amazon SH5 to run instead of STEAM

OK, I had originally installed an run SH5 from Steam.

I uninstalled it and bought the downloadable version from Amazon.com so that I can modify the .exe file.

Now when I launch SH5 it launches Uplay which in turn tries to launch it again from Steam, which wants to re-install from Steam.

Any ideas on how to make the Amazon version run?

UPDATE:

OK, I fixed it before I even posted. Figured I would post this for others.

The problem is that Steam talks to your Uplay account, and your Uplay account knows that SH5 was previously installed from Steam, so when you try to launch it again it goes back to Steam.

To fix, I just created a separate Uplay account for the new SH5 install.

Unfortunately Uplay does not seem to be automatically updating the 1.0.5 SH5 to 2.1.0, so I will have to do that next.
