I am downloading a game from BF on my Surface Pro3.. after it is downloaded can I uninstall the Big Fish Client that is loaded in my program file without it effecting the game?

I answered my question.. I uninstalled the manager and created a new short cut to the .exe and it works fine

As long as you've activated the game on that computer, you can run directly from the game .exe or a shortcut you make to the game .exe.

However if you copy the installation folder to another computer, it won't be activated and will only run as a demo.

There's no particular reason to uninstall the Big Fish client if you intend to play more games on the computer.
