Fix for key activation and GFWL has been found (GTA IV and GTA EFLC)
This method was found by user dririan, I'm not entirely sure if he was the first one to find the fix but I got this method from him. Anyway, it worked perfectly for me and now both games are activated and are working 100%. I live in Canada so I can confirm this method works for those that live in Canada, as well as the US. As for other countries, I'm not entirely sure but you should give it a try anyway.
I also included screenshots of the different steps (except step 7 since I already got my game activated) for those of you that understand better visually.
1. Go to https://live.xbox.com/en-US/RedeemCode, sign in with your Microsoft account if you're not signed in, and paste the key that Steam gives you. Once it is successfully redeemed, there is nothing left to do on the website, so you can exit it. Picture for Step 1: http://i.imgur.com/ZZsp9.png
2. Open "Games for Windows Marketplace" (the PC client, NOT the website; you can download it here) and sign into the same Microsoft account. Pictures for Step 2: http://i.imgur.com/It6A6.png and http://i.imgur.com/InTtb.png
3. Go to the Downloads tab. Picture for Steps 3-6: http://i.imgur.com/w8fVT.png
4. Find "Game: GTA IV: EFLC" (or GTA IV PC) in the list and click it.
5.Click "View Game Keys".
6.Copy the "Game Activation Key" to your clipboard or write it down.
7.Launch GTA IV from your Steam library, when it asks for you to sign in and
paste your activation key, put in the one you got from the Games for Windows Marketplace client, NOT the one that you got from Steam.
If it isn't working for you or if you have any questions, just let me know and I'll try my best to help you.
P.S. The following only applies for those that purchased the Complete Edition (GTA IV + EFLC: You won't be able to access the EFLC games from the GTA IV menu, you will have to launch the GTA IV: ELFC game from your Steam library.
P.P.S. As far as I know, you shouldn't have to activate EFLC because I'm able to play it from my Steam library without having to paste any activation keys. It might be different for some of you, I'm not entirely sure.
