have you registered you SH5 copy with your account?

actually no, it seems that after the download, its not going to the register page, it just says no games found when uplay starts, so i cant even register it-

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.

Guys, I really appreciate your help, I hope we can figure this out, i have been waiting patiently for SH5 to come in the mail so its agonizing not to get it working! Now, to answer the last post, I do not get the activation code screen. I have an activation code, but i have uninstalled (fully) and reinstalled about 4 times now, and that window does not come up. so i cant figure out what i need to do to get the game activated!!

I wish it were that easy, but im not the only one who's uplay isnt recognizing a downloaded game. but every solution doesnt work

You said that after starting the game the uplay window opens.

Here you should be prompted to enter your U-play account name and password, if it is your first game with Ubisoft you can choose "create a new account"

After this the game will be tied to your account, press "play", a window for entering the product key should then appear.
