legendary activate handles the one-time account-linking step required for certain Epic Games Store titles that are managed by a third-party platform. Some games purchased on Epic (such as Ubisoft Connect titles) need to be registered on a separate account before they can be installed or launched. This command automates that activation process so you never need to open the Epic Games Launcher to complete it. Exactly one platform flag must be provided.

Exactly one of
-U or -O must be specified. Omitting both (or specifying both) is an error.Examples

Not all Epic titles require activation. You can check whether a game needs it by runninglegendary list --third-party and looking for entries that mention Ubisoft or Origin, or by running legendary info <App Name> and checking the “Activates on external platform” field.
