Steam, where is my CD key (activation code)? Did you rob me? :)
Hi, Steam

I have just bought Anno 2205 Gold game. We made a deal: I gave you money, you gave me the game. But after downloading the game , I don't see any CD key (activation code) . Ubisoft (uplay) asks me to enter CD key (activation code) - but I don't know where is that ?

I tried following solutions:
1. "Find cd key" - http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3069217
2. "Refresh Stream cache: steam://flushconfig" - https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3134-TIAL-4638&l=russian
3. "Check Anno 2205 game cache" - https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
4. Restart Steam application/restart PC / restart Uplay

Also, I called to Ubisof (uplay) Russian support team and they said: "it is not our problem. Stream should send you CD key/activation code, please speak with them".

It looks strange , but for Anno 2070 - I am able to see CD-Key (in the menu popup), unfortunately, for Anno 2205 - no option

In conclusion, where is my CD key (activation code)? Did you rob me? :)

Do you have Uplay Installed.

Steam is highly integrated with Uplay. It will register your key automatocially to your account as long as you have uplay proeprly installed

sure, I have Uplay installed ( I play prev version of Anno - Anno 2070)
You mean like right click in Steam library -> CD key?

It's not the same key for the actual game as the one you got?

Try updating your Uplay client

Ohh, sorry, did not notice that, hope you find a solution.

Ok, I have found the solution!
1. Close uplay & steam in your PC
2. Go to friend, which has PC with OS Win10
3. Login in Steam and Uplay there using your accounts
4. Download and run Anno2205 in Steam
5. Confirm that you want to add Anno2205 to uplay library (NO NEED TO ENTER ACTIVATION CODE in that case!)
6. Close Steam and Uplay
7. Go to home and run

You do realize all u had to do was launch Uplay > it will auto update.
Then once that is done (make sure Uplay is logged into the account u want the game on)
Launch your Steam game that requires Uplay, and now you're done.

Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

If updating Uplay does not work:
- Unistall Uplay
- Delete Uplay folder
- Download newest Version of Uplay
- Install newest Version of Uplay
- Uplay doesn't ask for Produktkeys anymore

^ This

When you buy a Ubisoft game on Steam now, simply launch Uplay Client, Steam Client, then launch your Ubi game u got on Steam, from Steam... if it is first launch, it will auto-activate in Uplay. Just ensure your Uplay is logged in to the correct account.
