silent hunter 5 & uplay

[Robertcompassrose]

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!!

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.

I think there is a step missing, where you actually assign this particular game to your one particular account.
It's been so long ago that I can't remember how I did it or even where did I do it: whether I had to go to ubi's website or I did it through the launcher...

yes , it's been quite a while ago since I installed it....

One more thought came to my mind:
Did you buy the disc 2nd hand? You would then need the original account name and login...

I got the game new from amazon. I will try going on ubisoft and seeing if i missed a registration step. the photo is actually from ubisoft support, but their solution didnt fix my problem. however when i go to games on uplay i get this screen (disregard the assasins creed SH5 is the only game i have with uplay)
