Purchasing UPlay game on Steam

I purchased Far Cry 3 on my Steam account, I downloaded the game from Steam and when I ran it I got a key to activate the game on UPlay but, when I run the game I should login to both services.

If I uninstall the game and download it again via UPlay, Will I be able to play it without logging in Steam?
