VST Connect not installed correctly???

I finally got it to load, but when I start pro vst connect, it doesn’t give me a key, but rather asks for friends or member names. And when I boot up VST connect performer on another computer, it asks me for a user name and password. Does that mean the performer must have a Steinberg account? How do I find performers to give keys to?

The manual is still based on version 3. I have version 4
