The developer and distributor of videogames, Ubisoft Entertainment, has announced that it is working on a technology by means of which it avoids using digital activation codes for PC. This new technology will require the provision of a Uplay account to make purchases.

Ubisoft wants to eliminate the digital activation codes for PC with which they proceeded to activate their video games. This is because the illegal practices for which this method has been provided have been of such great magnitude that it has served as a motivation for the developer to search for a viable technological solution, an alternative that offers the possibility of separating in terms of offering codes of activation to distributors and final customers. In this sense, Ubisoft has developed a method known as Silent Key Activation (or SKA, for its acronym), which has been designed in conjunction with Genba Digital.

All the information revealed refers to the fact that the French developer and distributor Ubisoft Entertainment will stop selling PC games in digital markets that do not use SKA. While for its part, Matt Murphy of Genba Digital has reiterated that SKA system is as safe as traditional purchases directly from UPlay or Steam.
