Since you were able to license it, DEP is not going to be an issue (it would kick in already before that), and you must be running with full admin rights, too. The most likely cause would be hardware or driver issues. If you have submitted a support ticket, then you're in good hands

Correct!
First, you should unlicense your previously activated game. If you don't, then your license key will remain "linked" to that PC. While you can have one key be linked to up to two PCs at the same time, it is definitely better to unlicense if you do not intend to play the game anymore on that PC.
The rest of the procedure - slug has it right:
1. Install CMSF from DVD (or backed up setup file that you downloaded)2. Install Marines from download
3. Install British Forces from download
4. patch to 1.21
5. enter license key on first run

Darkstar - since 2002 it's never been a fixed release date for the sc series. It does'nt work like that with furysoftware games. So no need to get angry everything is under control.
What makes me(and I think I speak for Jerseyjohn too) is the problem to understand the moderating around here. When we are waiting for a game it's ok to discuss ww2 books and what ifs, but as soon the game is released Battlefront more or less looks up everything you posted. I would ask of the moderators to be a bit more layed back and not lock up everything as off topic.
No clue what you are referring to.

There is no 1.21 manual as such. The latest version of the manual is 1.20 and is available as part of the game as well as the v1.21 patch (but it's the 1.20 manual).

PT Boats is fully supporting DX10, so setting it to DX9 wouldn't even be needed. Perhaps run the DirectX updater and make sure you have Nvidia's PhysX engine installed?

No, it is saying "I do not have any public comment at the moment".
One of the luxuries of independent development is being able to work under no artificial release schedules created by marketing people. This allows development under a flexible schedule with no firm "release date" estimates. It's a dangerous thing to do for people not used to it (dangers like "feature creep" loom around the corner), but Hubert is an experienced award winning developer, so there is no problem there. If he feels that it's not yet the time to make a release date public, then this is something that you and other players have to respect.
Talking about respect... how about showing a little? Not (only) because Hubert is the developer of the game you apparently care much about, but simply because he's another member of a forum where four-starring someone is going to get you an Infraction (see little red card in the top corner of your post).
I am going to lock up this thread because there is no way this is going to stay on topic.

The Repository is tracking download ATTEMPTS, not completed downloads. The download limits (which are in place to prevent excessive file leeching) reset after 24 hours.
If you are getting timeouts trying to download, make sure that your PC and browser are able to download using the file transfer protocol (FTP). Some browsers, such as Google Chrome, do not support FTP, and other settings on your PC may prevent file transfers as well.

You can "load" the game on as many computers as you like. However, only two of them can be "active" at the same time.
This is because the eLicense system enforces our End User License Agreement, which allows you to have the same key active on up to two PCs at the same time.
In other words, you can activate the game on two PCs at the same time with the same key. If you would like more than that, you have to UNLICENSE one of the previously activated copies (you do not have to uninstall though), or you have to buy a second key (which gives you another 2 concurrent activations).

Sounds like some kind of Windows corruption. Reboot?
-
Please submit a support ticket at www.battlefront.com/helpdesk if you haven't done so already. Usually, one of the things you think you have done (run as admin, DEP, AV) are in fact not done, or not done correctly. Please doublecheck them. Sometimes they like to set themselves back to default (especially true for DEP).

Is he out his grand $1.00 for the patch?
No, why should he be? All the order info is stored in the customer account at www.battlefront.com (click on My Account after logging in), and if he lost the password, go to www.battlefront.com/lostpw to get a new one (and the username, which is called User Account in the email).

PS. The demo isn't even out yet (at least not the demo for our v1.1 Battlefront version), but will be later today.
-
If you have purchased and downloaded from Battlefront using the link in your customer account, then you have the full version of the game. From what I recall, you have to play through the campaigns in succession in order to "unlock" the missions and new campaigns.

I always have difficulty navigating your system
RCMP, reading helps. Not that there is anything unusual about our system at all, but any questions you may have are explaned in our Knowledgebase at www.battlefront.com/helpdesk, and the instructions on how to purchase are shown on *every* page at www.battlefront.com/store. Granted "enter the right email" is not included in these instructions
As for logging into the store account - you have logged into a website on the internet before? If so, then it works pretty much the same

Could be. DropTeam is an older game (part of our Battlefront Classics series) and may or may not work on a newer PC. We provide limited support for it. Feel free to submit a ticket at www.battlefront.com/helpdesk and we can escalate it to have the developers look at it.

Please check out our Knowledgebase at www.battlefront.com/helpdesk about how to retrieve the keys in your customer account as well as about download period expiry and other details. You can also submit a support ticket there if you require further assistance.

The installer tries to anticipate the correct place to install, but since it needs to work with a number of different versions of the base game out there, it's not going to be always 100% accurate. So the correct installation of the patch does depend to the user making sure that the correct path is chosen unfortunately.
-
This is the right patch. You need to have v1.10 (which you automatically do if you have Marines and British; in fact, by installing British you already have v1.20).
It sounds like you patched into the wrong folder/path.

hcrof, why aren't you writing books? This is a great read, the pics are beautiful, and you're making me have some serious withdrawals!
Dang, we'd even publish them (Kindle anyone?)

You can run up to two games at the same time with one key, yes. This is spelled out in the End User License Agreement that is part of the game. Strictly speaking you are only allowed to have the second activation for personal use, but we do not enforce this part of the EULA.
Sending someone your key however does involve risks. Once the key is known, the other person can use it without limitations and could "steal" your activations from you. So you should better trust that person before handing over a key

No, you are not missing anything. There is no way to filter by size as such.
However: Even if there was such a feature, it would depend on the uploader filling in the info. As it is, uploaders can already enter any text description about the battle they want, including the size, and you can search for it using the Search function.
and Ian should be able to figure out what's up.
How to get CMSF to run again?

Due to your reformatting, eLicense may think that it has now been moved to a different PC than it was licensed before. eLicense is smart enough to try to recognize your PC (even after a reformat) but it will not always work (which may explain why only the British module acts up, and not the base game, or, if you have it, the Marines module).
You do have the British Forces module, do you? (It's not entirely clear from what you write). If you do, simply license it again. If you get "error 11", then you will need a reset for your key. Please submit a support ticket at www.battlefront.com/helpdesk.
