General question about activation codes

With the games purchased here I've always got an activation code, but I never had to input them anywhere. The games always simply started when I bought them. So, what are those codes for? I'm somewhat puzzled...

    They are an alternative for just logging in with your user account (like, if your offline or something).

    Ah, ok. Thanks. I never saw that option though, guess it's because I'm always online when I play them.

    Yeah, I stupidly cut my internet connection before launching S&M3, so there were 4 different options:
    * Logging in with your account.
    * Using the serial key
    * "Manual Unlock" (whatever that is)
    * Try the Demo instead
