Ubisoft Connect asking to activate CD Key on Startup? (self.steamdeck)

Hello everyone,

I'm having a strange issue with Ubisoft Connect on my Deck. I followed a guide to add the installer as a non-Steam game, install it, then change the target to the correct compatdata path so the program launches.

However, after I logged in, it immediately opened a prompt to activate a CD Key. Cancelling or closing with the X button at the top makes the menu go away, but then the app just runs without any further prompt until I hit Stop in Steam. There doesn't seem like there's any way around that prompt and I can't continue to install any games. I'm trying to install my Ubisoft Connect copy of Assassin's Creed: Revelations if that makes any difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's in your steam page for that game. https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/help/purchases-and-rewards/article/locating-your-cd-key-in-steam/000076555

I can try that, but the weird thing is that that prompt comes up just launching the Ubisoft Connect client with no launch options. I'm not launching into any games, just the client itself so I have no idea what key it wants.
