usually Uplay provieds a key in your library section to go activate it on Uplay as only fools play double (triple with Denuvo) drm and expect it to run right..lol by playing a Uplay game through steam. But I see no activatyion key there so don't know. oh well free cards set and badge at least?..lol

I have one UPlay account. I'm not sure the theory even makes sense though. We downloaded a free copy through Steam. Unless Ubisoft assumed that every single Steam user already has a Uplay account that is linked to them, they would have to allow for some way for new users to get the product, and until they create some sort of link, it's impossible that that free Steam download could translate to a game automatically appearing in your UPlay library, triggered by a Steam activation.

well it happened to me in ACO. i didnt even remember that i have 2 account, and they keep asking me activation code when login to my uplay. Until i did "forgot password" to every single of my emails account LuLs.. i am sorry if this cant fix your problem.

never heard of that either, I understand multiple steam accounts due to securing your library from malicious "activities" by steam mods, miltiplayer stuffs, even smurf accoutns for their money games like dota and csgo...but Ive never heard of multi accts for uplay or origin?...just curious as to the reason one would have them benefit wise? in any event, i checked my only uplay acct and there was no mention of For Honor in it even though it's in my steam library. so the theory doesn't make sense to me either. is your steam acct connected to your uplay account? i didn't know you could link them if so.

I had the game on Uplay for a while but I prefer to launc through Steam and own it on Steam.
For the record, I had Uplay open aswell; so it was linked, and my Uplay account was already linked due Driver San Francisco.

Hello everyone,

If you're being asked for an activation key, could you verify your game files here.

Once that's done, make sure you run Steam and Uplay PC as administrator and then launch the game.

Let me know if you're still having issues after trying this out!

Ok I found the issue, at least for me, and it's pretty silly.

When you claim the game through Big Picture Mode, then hit the install button, the file that it downloads is some sort of beta/test environment thing (I can't recall the exact name at the moment). I exited Big Picture Mode, found For Honor in my library, and noticed that in there, without BPM, it was a separate listing from the version I had downloaded. I initiated that download, got rid of the first one, and everything is all right now.
