Nothing happens. Uninstalling does not erase your license status, i.e. if you activate the game, uninstall, then reinstall, then the game will simply work. You will not have to re-activate (and hence will not use up another activation).
To trigger a new activation you would have to make major changes to your PC and/or reformat the entire drive.
There is no finite number of licensing events with our new system, either, since you can add activations. The "pace" at which you can do this is restricted, but the number of activations remains infinite.
Then you must have a hard time finding companies that offer this, because other than eLicense there are not many systems out there that allow you to un-license and re-license a game.
Yes, our EULA does not change.
No.
I don't know what you mean.
It's already there: You can add one activation per year yourself at www.battlefront.com/activate. This only works for games released after Jan 1, 2011.

Dont often post here and I dont have a problem with DRM as some people do. But frankly this just sounds Dumb. What for example is actually the point of increasing the activation count by one a year ? Thats seems to me a tacit admission that there are circumstances where you can run out - so if you do you have to wait till next year ? Stupid.
So if I reformat my drive every two months and rebuild my machine (I have it down to a fine art) - battlefront are bascially telling me I cant do that any longer AND play the game I bought ? Stupid and arrogant.
Moon - you need to be a little more polite and helpful in your responses ... we are after all .... customers remember.
I have worn every DRM scheme thrown at me and this is the only one that has raised my hackles a little. If you are going to implement a DRM scheme - and I fully support that if its necessary - you HAVE TO - as a business - implement a solution for ALL difficulties a customer may face and have a remedy for them - its simply not good enough to tell them to go suck it up if something goes wrong.

Similar to another post - I am a little confused with TUMs
First - you dont seem to be able to "Acquire" anthing from the vehicles - either the original crew or other units.
Also - dismounted crews only seem able to recrew there original vehicle - not another with the same weapon type ..
Also - as another post suggested - once dismounted and if the crew runs out of ammo - they dont seem able to resupply GMGs for example from their original vehicle ...
Can someone explain in detail how this dismounted weapons things and TUMs are supposed to work ?

Well - seems to me thats exactly the debate going on right now about our troops in Afghanistan. ie do we have the right tools to do the job.
Anyhow - part of the challenge in a scenario is maybe being able to do the job with not exactly the right tools - which it seems to me is what we brits are having to do in real life...

Maybe got this wrong - but one of the screeenshots mentioned dismountable weapons in the brits module ... now I presumed this meant taking weapons off vehicles - but I cant see anything about this in the manual - can someone clarify ?
New DRM explained?

No I think you are incorrect actually - go read Moons post on the subject. What is the point of saying there is a limit to activations and then say you can have as many as you like - your logic doesnt make any sense - the whole point of the DRM is to stop people licensing a game when they havent bought it.
