From the August of 2013 BitDefender insist to set region restrictions in license activation inside of EU. Until today they did it 3 times.
For example if you buy a BitDefender license key from UK now you cannot activated in Greece or in another country of EU.
As we know this is absolutely ilegal. I am trying to use BitDefender products from Europe in EU countries and its failing, this I feel infringes on the Free Trade rights belonging to European Union Member countries, placing a filter and stopping the products working in the EU is against the law and I shall be reporting Bitdefender for this to all the relevant governing bodies.
By the way I 'm Software Distributor in Greece and I import BitDefender Products from other EU countries.
Please read carefully a part of email that one of my supplier had receive as an official answer from a BitDefender UK Distributor :
"Going forward, our UK licenses will not work outside the UK, this means they will not work in the rest of Europe, we are aware that this is in conflict with EU law, so we have approval from Bitdefender that if you have any individual licenses that are sold to anyone that bought their license from a retail out_let or through your site and lives outside the UK, we will be able to get individual licenses unblocked, if however, Bitdefender believe there is anyone trying to bend these rules, they will refuse to unblock licenses.
"
I was trying to call BitDefender. Nobody answer to me in their central offices in Romany.
I have an issue with 8 BitDefender licenses. Please tell me what to do.
Do you want to denounce you to the European competition committee or you will cancel all activation restrictions within the EU ??
I would like to remind you that Kaspersky LABS did the actions for 13 days from 13 Jan. 2010 up to 26 Jan. 2010. Then they took back all the activation restrictions within the EU.
I 'm expecting an official answer.
Thank you very much and please do not lock my topic.
