Why is my Uplay code not working?

What if you followed the steps accurately, but your key is still not working?

The problem may be in entering the key.

The game key has either 16 or 19 digit characters in the upper case separated by dashes.

XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Recheck the code and make sure that you don’t miss any digit.

Also, make sure that you are able to differentiate your 0 (zero) and O, Q and D (letter), 1 and the capital letter i, B and 8, G and 6… and so on.
