I paid for Far cry 4 when it was brand new many years ago and kept it on My HD until recently when I uninstalled it
Now I changed My mind and I want to reinstall it but after I reinstalled it I can no longer use the original activation key
it says that it's not available because it's been used on a prior installation. The main problem I have is I no long have
My old email because it was hacked many years ago. I also deleted My old ubisoft account
So how the hell do I use the activation key if all My old information has been deleted
There must be a solution to this problem I can't be the only person that this has happened to
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help Me
keys are good for 1 use ..thats it .. from then on your game is bound to your Uplay account
your possibly logging into the wrong Uplay account .. you will need to contact Ubisoft support to find out what account you used to activate your key on
you will need to provide proof of ownership as well please contact Ubisoft support for additional help
you may do so here

and the main site Support Site here

next time i highly suggest you write down the e mail and password you use when creating any and all online accounts ..and save it in a lil book like i do in my desk
many online game services work the same way ..even Steam .. your games are only available on the account which you used to activate your game on .. if you log into a different account .. no your game is no longer available
again please contact Ubisoft Support Directly for any account issues

Hey there!Originally Posted by cowboycaleb22 Go to original post
I've checked your account and it looks like you're launching the Steam version of the game. If it's asking you for a key when launching you should be able to locate this in Steam here.
I'd also please ensure that you're signed in on the same Ubisoft account through Uplay as you're currently talking to us with on the forums with as it could also be an account issue. If this isn't the case I'd recommend opening a support case here so we can dig a little deeper into what's going on here. Thanks!
cowboycaleb22, if you have found the key but are getting a black screen when you launch, then this is more of a technical issue. Please verify your game files, and test the game again.![]()

PC and the console versions use a totally different API ie .. program interface and are not interchangeable between a pc and a console version
the PC version of FC 4 uses a totally different install path for save files VS a console version
even there is a huge difference between a uplay only and a steam version for PC
with the steam version of the game, saves your game to
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 856
the Uplay only version they go in
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 420
no clue on where your save game is on an console unit ..or even how you could back it up or copy it since the programing between a PC and console is not the same
please contact UBISOFT support
