    there were problems with G2 A keys before

    Ubisoft recommends you only buy a key from a place that has a digital distribution agreement with them .. people used stolen credit cards to buy up keys on other sites then later resold them on G2a
    and other key selling sites .. if you buy a key and it was bought with stolen credit card data then resold to you .. YES they have to void the key once the bank notifies them of a fraudulent transaction

    see : https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/9/...0000000ekN9CAI

    to find a list of approved vendors , and no G2 A is not one of them

    that's always gonna be a problem on Gray market key selling sites , that people will use stolen credit card data to buy up keys and later resell them on the those gray market sites ..some keys yes are legit from sites like that ..but you never know until you have a problem , and your only recourse is with the Key seller or site you bought your key from

    more on that problem can be found at the following links

    if you buy the DVD version your may wanna skip installing it from the DVD

    go download the updated version of Uplay First here https://uplay.ubi.com/ and install it

    then input the cd key you get with your DVD version it should download and install the latest version .. i say do not bother installing the files from the DVD as Uplay will wanna replace all of your files as the game was patched 8 times since was released ,, in the bottom left corner you will see version 1.10 .0 once it is installed .. the shipped version i think was only 1.2.0

    and some of the patches were MASSIVE in size and were several gigabyte in size , so now the installer just replaces all the files
