DO NOT BUY

Ubisoft will not allow me to play the game I purchased, asking for a CD Key I never received and isnt linking to any account I have or create. Ive tried the stupid workarounds verifying files closing steam and ubisoft relaunching them, starting in offline mode, launching as administrator. all of it. Ubisoft simply will not let me play the game.

had same issue, had to install ubisoft connect, make an account, log in, then close ubisoft connect, and close steam, or you can restart computer, then open steam and ubisoft connect, then it worked without a cd key

I just had to stop and restart the game on Steam, after Ubisoft connect installed itself. Works fine now.

I simply logged into my Ubisoft account before hitting 'Play' on steam, and then got the 'The following products will be activated on your Ubisoft account'.

I had issues too. Refund requested. Tired of having to make game accounts...just let me play.

Just shut the Unisoft page asking for CD code and start the game in Steam.

Just buy it direct from Ubisoft, then you won't need the additional account and launcher layer that Steam imposes.

Open it, log into ubisoft or create an account, when it asks for a key just close and reopen the game. Should authenticate ownership after login.

I already had an ubisoft account. Punched that it, game asked for CD key, couldn't find it anywhere.
Steam help says to verify game files. So I did that, launch the game and presto, all's fine.

I destest this company. But I've been a long time fan of Anno. Played 1800 with an... alternative account and I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LOVE IT. Really worth the definitive version on sale.
