Unable to Activate Bitdefender free


I am switching away from Avast because of all of the stuff they has happened with them recently and want to use Bitdefender Free as my Antivirus (I don't like Windows Defender). I can install it and everything but when I attempt to sign in i get the error in the screen shot. Any ideas? I really don't want to use Defender and with the way avast is right now I don't want to go back.
