  • Hello @Yorkshire Andy and welcome to Bitdefender and the community.

    Typically, this error means that a firewall, DNS, or content filtering system on your network or computer prevents communication with the Bitdefender servers and blocks the activation process.

    Regardless of the reason why the message appears in your Bitdefender product, this article will show you exactly how to fix it:

  • The article linked to refers to resetting internet explorer however, IE no longer exists. Where can I find info on how to reset Edge browser?

  • @Gjoksi - Thanks for the advice, however it didn't solve my issue.

    Not sure if this info is relevant but I use DNS servers from Mullvad in my laptop's network settings:

    194.242.2.4, host name https://base.dns.mullvad.net/dns-query

    and 194.242.2.5 host name https://extended.dns.mullvad.net/dns-query

    In my Asus wifi router I use 9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112, host name dns.quad9.net
