During the activation process, only encrypted data will be transmitted from Ubisoft to Gamesplanet - so don't worry.

Exception: If you should find download files in your user account after buying a Ubisoft game, it is a game that has been on its way for several years. In this case, simply install the game and enter your key (license key) if you are prompted to do so during the installation.
