Rocksmith 2014 Edition is installed through a service called

Steam that’s used by tens of millions of people. Steam ensures

that you always have the latest complete installation files,

patches, and new songs available to download.

If you do not have a disc-drive, please refer to the alternate

guide posted at www.rocksmith.com/setup

STEAM REGISTRATION Part 1

1. Insert the disc into your drive to start. If it does not Autoplay, you can navigate

to the disc drive and double-click the “Setup.exe” file in the Rocksmith 2014

folder to get started.

2. Choose “Install

Rocksmith 2014”

from the menu.

3. Login or create a

Steam account to

proceed.

INSTALL ROCKSMITH 2014 Part 2

4. Use the paper insert

that came inside the

Rocksmith 2014 case to

activate your product.

Enter the key exactly as

shown on the insert, using

all capital letters and

including the dashes. It

should look like this:

XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

5. The next screen will prompt you to

install the game. Make sure you have

enough free space on the disk drive.

Click “NEXT” when you are ready to

proceed.

You will then be presented with the End

User License Agreement and shortcut

options.

6. Rocksmith 2014 will now

install. You will see a progress

bar, time remaining, etc.

While a portion of the game will

be installed from the disc, some

amount of it will also be

downloaded to ensure that the

most up to date version of the

software is installed.

If it is progressing slowly, we

recommend leaving it on

overnight to download.

7. After installation is complete, go to your “LIBRARY” inside Steam. Next

mouse-over Rocksmith 2014 and choose “PLAY” .

Rocksmith 2014 Edition can be linked to Uplay, a

service that keeps track of your personal profile and

progress across all Ubisoft titles. You can also

unlock additional bonus content.

OPTIONAL STEP: UPLAY REGISTRATION

8. When you click play in Steam to launch Rocksmith 2014, a dialogue box will pop up

with a 15-digit key. This is the CD key you will use if you want to link your Uplay

account with Rocksmith 2014. You can also retrieve this key by clicking the “CD Key”

link to the right. NOTE: This is different from the key that was used for Steam.

9. When Rocksmith 2014 starts up you’ll be given the option to sign into or

create a Uplay account.

10. After signing in or creating an account you’ll receive a prompt to enter in

the previously displayed CD key. Steps to find the key are re-stated at this

point. Remember, this is NOT the same key used to activate Rocksmith 2014

on Steam.

11. After successfully linking your Uplay account to Rocksmith 2014,

creating/selecting which profile you’d like to use, and connecting to Ubisoft

servers, you’re all set! You can begin earning Uplay rewards and tracking

your playing stats!
