CAN'T FIND ACTIVATION KEY
Bought the game on the summer sale, and when I press "play," it opens the Uplay screen prompting the activation key. However, neither right clicking nor "looking under the right-hand side 'List'"(as the Ubisoft support agent directed me) provided any help, because the "CD key" option is simply not there.

Same. RIP
This. I can't find anywhere on the Steam site to put in a ticket. It just keeps giving me ubisofts phone number. But, if steam has the CD keys, ubisoft is just going to send me back to Steam.

i found the solution dowload the free dlc and press continue and it will start up :)

I tried your solution and it did not work for me. I am currently uninstalling the game to see if reinstalling it does anything. I think it is completely stupid for there to even be a need for the code. I bought the game on steam and Ubisoft forces you to use their service in conjuction. It's ridiculous.

Ubisoft seem to be removing keys from the Seam versions of some of their assassin's Creed games .

My keys for Syndicate , India and China have disappeared .

I bought the Dreadful Crimes DLC this morning .
I had Uplay running before I ran Syndicate , and got a popup telling me what was going to be activated .

So , it looks like from now on , to activate Syndicate , India and China ( and probably the rest eventually) have Uplay running first , then run the game .

Hope this helps .

This worked for me, soon as I click download it launched Uplay and the game launched no problem, hasn't asked me about a CD key since.

Mine is still not working. I contacted Ubisoft and twice now their customer reps took so long to reply that the session timed out. They have done nothing to solve my problem. The first guy on the site told me to right click for the CD key that Ninja 12 just stated doesn't exist for this guy. How do you work at a the company but aren't aware of this? Absolutely awful costumer service.

You could try linking your Steam and Uplay accounts ( make sure you use the right account if you have more than one )

Leave Uplay running and logged in , and then try running the game from Steam .

I fixed it. You don't get a CD key at all.

First, install Uplay onto your computer. Sign in / make an account.

Close Uplay after you have it logged in.

Close Steam. Reopen it as an administrator.

Run AssCreed Syndicate

Uplay opens asking you to link Steam account to uplay account

you can play

I downloaded the Evie steampunk outfit and it launched the game, saying it was going to activate the game and the dlc. That fixed it for me.

What problems..... the first time after 11 years... but it now works... th@nks :-)

I was concerned about not having a CD key also, but after launching the game through Steam, then allowing the UPlay launcher to update itself, then closing it after getting to the activation key input screen, launching the game again worked for me.
