Why is my Uplay code not working?

You followed the step by step tutorial to activate your product key, but it’s not working ?

Maybe you are facing an issue while entering your code on the website.

The format of the key should be either a 16 or 19 digit key in upper case and separated by dashes as below:

XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Make sure you didn’t forget any digit.

Another thing to check, make sure you differentiate: 0 (zero) and O, Q and D (letter), 1 and capital letter i, B and 8, G and 6, etc.
