Registering BitDefender 2008

Issue:

Whenever a BitDefender product is purchased, our customers receive the product as a 30 trial days version and a license key to register it. The product is not pre-registered, therefore the customers need to perform the BitDefender registration process.
This article describes all the steps you need to perform in order to have a properly registered BitDefender product.

Solution:

The registration process converts the 30 trial days version you installed into the full registered BitDefender product you purchased and creates your account on the BitDefender website. You can register the product either at the moment of installing BitDefender (see the first 2 steps of the Initial Setup Wizard) or at a later time.

In order to register BitDefender properly after the product installation please follow the steps below:

Open BitDefender and in the main window hit Register. The Registration Wizard will appear and you will have to complete 3 steps in order to finish the registration process.

1. Registration. In order to register BitDefender you will have to enter your License key in the Enter new key box and then to hit Next. If you wish to continue evaluating BitDefender and decide to register it later select Continue evaluating this product and then hit Next.

2. Create a BitDefender Account. There are two possible situations in the Account window:

A. If you already have a BitDefender account, select 'Sign in to an existing BitDefender account' and then click Next.

If you have forgotten your password, click Forgot your password? and follow the instructions.

Click Next to continue the wizard.

B. If you do not have a BitDefender account then you will have to select Create a new BitDefender account and provide the required information. The data you provide here will remain confidential.

Type a valid e-mail address in the E-mail field. Think of a password and type it in the Password field. Confirm the password in the Re-type password field. Use the e-mail address and the password to log in to your account at http://myaccount.bitdefender.com.

Note: The password must be least four characters long.

Click Next to continue the wizard.
