Bought on Steam - No Code

Hello!
I am writing this on behalf of a friend who just bought Elder Scrolls Online Gold Edition via Steam. He installed the game, and then went to create an account. However, the problems occurred when he was to activate the game. Steam never gave him a key, and he do not get the option to see the View CD Key option in Steam (See picture). He did get a popup that showed the key when he first launched the game, but it did not come the 2nd time.. So.. Does anyone know how he can get it? We have searched everywhere and the posts only explains how to do it back when ESO was subscrition based, not One-Time-Pay. Thanks for all answers

When he presses play via Steam, the launcher opens.
When he presses play via Launcher, the game starts and he goes to the login page.
No CD key popup or anything.. As you can see in the image there is no option to show CD key.
Thanks for taking your time to look into this, Gina!0 -
ZOS_GinaBrunoCommunity ManagerYou no longer need a key via Steam, so once he's on the login screen he should be good to go.0

Okay, we'll try again tomorrow when his game is done verifying cache.
But to get thigs straight, now that he bought the game via Steam, he must create an account here on the website, then login with that in the game? No need for a code to activate on the account pages?0
