speedstar1

Hi Guys,

Hi Im an avid user of Bitdefender products on my windows machines. Currently I switched from windows to OSX and I found out that bitdefender have products designed for mac. I have a couple of questions that I hope somebody can kindly give an insight or a straight answer.

1. What is the difference between Bitdefender AV for Mac and Bitdefender Virus Scanner Plus?
2. I have a legit license of Bitdefender AV for Mac, can I use it on my new mac mini?
3. If I buy the Bitdefender Virus Scanner Plus at the app store, can I use it on all my machines?

Thank you in advance

Hi guys just sharing what BD Support Team told me..

Thank you for contacting Bitdefender support.

Both products are approximately the same the only difference comes when

registering and with the permissions.

Bitdefender virus scanner plus ( from appstore) is linked to your apple

account and can be installed on multiple devices which have the same apple id

account (up to 5 devices).

Upon installation Bitdefender virus scanner for mac asks permissions to access

paths on the computer to scan (this is Apple tinkering here with users

privacy, meaning that you have to ask for permissions to be able to scan

different places in the OS)

The product is available for at least 4-5 years until it will be pulled from

appstore.

The Bitdefender antivirus for Mac is installing via a different package and in

a different location also it does not ask for permissions to scan different

locations because it asks you for only 1 permission at the installation, no

haste there

The key is registered within the product and will expire when the days will

run out.

The functionality of the both products is the same The users will choose what

flavor they want to purchase and use.
