rocksmith 2014 questions

[pontifex]

I just got Rocksmith 2014 today (guitar will be here Thursday).
It came with 2 activation codes. Is that normal? Is one for PC and one for MAC?
The paper the codes came on don't seem to have anything that says PC or MAC to differentiate them.


Also, does the Real Tone cable only work with Rocksmith 2014 or can it be used to record the guitar on the PC with other software?

Are the codes the same format and are they called the same thing?

I saw this in a amazon review.

NOTE: The product registration code is on a notecard in the game case. During installation you will receive a Steam notification pop up with a secondary activation code with the option to "copy to clipboard." This activation code is different than the one supplied in the box and you will need to enter it in uplay to install later in the install process. Select the option to copy to clipboard and continue with installation until prompted for the activation code. IMPORTANT: WHEN PASTING THE ACTIVATION CODE, BE SURE TO REMOVE ANY SPACES BEFORE OR AFTER THE CODE. LEAVING A SPACE BEFORE OR AFTER THE CODE WILL LEAD TO AN ERROR SAYING THE CODE IS NOT VALID. (Note: You must launch Rocksmith through Steam, Steam will open a notification pop-up to launch Rocksmith through Uplay, and show the game activation code, which will only work with the Uplay account you registered rocksmith with. If you try and launch through Uplay, Uplay with give you an error to launch with Steam.)

Mine only came with one activation key in the dvd case.

The cable works as a line in so you can choose it as a recording device for other programs, but I've never tried it. I imagine it has to be better than just a normal mic in jack. Your best bet would be to get a cheap DAW (usb3) and go that route for recording.

Theres 2 cards in the box. They look exactly the same but with different keys. Key format looks the same. I entered 1 key in steam when i ran the installer (had to download it even though i had the dvd version). I did see another key pop up when i launched the game but i dont remeber if it was the same key or not. I didnt have to enter any other keys.

Perhaps they gave another key by accident.

You're lucky enough to get it. I have been trying to source it for the last year or so in India. Sold out everywhere. The problem is I can't even download it through Steam because I can't find the real tone cable anywhere.
