    Had a Chat with an EA/Origin tech.  This procedure worked for me:  Here are the Steps :- Open Computer from the Start menu and go to: C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License **Program Data may be a hidden folder on your machine**
     Delete either 71067.dlf or 71069.dlf (depending on if you have Limited Edition or Standard)
     Reboot your machine.
     Launch Origin.
     Try to launch BF 4.

    I was able to join BF4 servers after completing the above instructions.
