Bitdefender Installation/yearly license

Wind Rider

Hi Bit Team,

I hope all is well.

I have a couple of questions.

So if I installed the 2018 version sometime in 2018 (Home Internet Security 2018), when the 2019 version comes out and my license is still active... will I have to reinstall the application again to get the 2019 version, or will it update seamlessly? Essentially do I have to uninstall and reinstall every year to get the new version?

Also if I installed through a disc in 2018, can I still use that same 2018 disc to install on another computer after 2019 (let's say in 2020) as long as I have a new license every year? Or do I have to get a new disc every year (assuming I'm using a disc option since there are some stores that still sell the disc)?

 

Thank you.

Stefan I.

Hello,

The transition is somewhat manual for devices that have their copy installed through a installation CD/disk.

We recommend that you instead follow the steps listed below to upgrade to the 2019 edition that we've launched:

- Access your account via https://central.bitdefender.com

- Click on MyDevices

- Click on Install Protection -> Protect this device

- A file will be saved on your system

- Run the installation file and follow the on-screen steps

From that point on, the 2020 product deployment will be done automatically.
