Train Tickets In France

We are doing the My Way trip to France in September. When it ends we've added another week to travel on our own for 1 week and we'll be going from Nice to Lyon, then Lyon to Paris. We'll be spending a couple days at each location so we'll find buses or other ways to get around. This will be our first time traveling alone in France so I'm just learning....
My husband and I are seniors. I bought a train ticket that's good for 1 year that's a "sncfconnect, Carte Avantage Senior" ticket. Then I went back and followed the same directions for a ticket for hubby (I thought) and when I printed it, it came out as a "Carte Avantage Senior 60 ans et+" and it had an Icon on one side of the ticket: TGViuOui. I have tried to study this and can't figure out to get another ticket like mine?? And does it matter? Are they the same ticket?? The both cost $49. I did try to buy a ticket using the same program a 2nd time and now I have 2 tickets for my husband from that company.
If anyone can help, I'd sure appreciate it!
Thank You!

it isn't a ticket. It is discount card which costs 49€ each.

When you have one each you can now buy train fares which qualify at a discount. Only covered trains receive the discount.
