That is how to activate CD keys on Rockstar Social Club. Note that once you have redeemed a game, it's yours permanently. This means you can uninstall and reinstall the game whenever you like, even if you are transferring computers. Please keep your CD key somewhere safe, in case you need to use it to settle disputes.
