in Update

Every Time the auto update runs I get an update fails message stating: To benefit from signature updates after 30 days since the installation, you must configure a bitdefender account!


My license is valid for over a year and I have an account. Any suggestions?


Thanks!

    When you uninstalled did you uninstall using the control panel or the uninstall tool supplied by the bitdefender website? Which registry entries did you delete?

  • Volt

    I uninstalled using the control panel. Had I known there is an unnistall tool provided by BD, i would've used that.


    I assumed my problem stemmed from the change from my old email account registered with BD to a new one. There were 2 email addresses in the registry (one Value name "Email" and another "E-mail") so I deleted "E-mail" which contained my old one. I am not sure which password was retained so I deleted the value entries in the "passwd" and "encpassword" Value names.


    Please back up the registries before you do this. I just took a risk. I don't want to mess up your PCs.

    It is one month since I installed IS2012 and today the update failed with the message that other posters have reported, "To benefit from signature updates after 30 days since the installation, you must configure a Bitdefender account!".


    I logged into my existing BD account but couldn't see anything I was supposed to configure. When I tried update again it worked!

    I tried the following:


    1. I completely uninstalled the product using the uninstall tool supplied on the support website (available at: www.bitdefender.com/uninstall).


    2. I deleted the entire registry node: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\SetId. Before deleting the node I backed it up first.


    3. Reinstalled 2012 and registered the product.


    So far so good, but it has only been few days. Not sure what will happen after 30 days (the length of the trial version).

    Hello,


    You must be kidding. How can we understand the situation and find a fix if we don't ask questions nor any logs ? With all due respect but we can't guess what is probably causing this issue. A please would also make wonders ;)


    Realkaka2204: I won't consider any of your posts until you won't modify your signature. You are a regular poster and should have known better - please read the forum rules, I hate to ban regular posters.


    The update issue in question is caused in most of the cases (90%+) by a faulty upgrade to 2012 from a previous BitDefender version.


    Please make sure you use the uninstall tool from:


    http://www.BitDefender.com/uninstall


    Few tips that will help you uninstall/reinstall BitDefender correctly:


    - right click on the uninstall tool AFTER you save it and select "Run as Administrator" - for Windows Vista / Windows 7;


    - click on the Uninstall and WAIT to be asked to restart the PC; most of the users are not waiting for the pop-up;


    - run a third party software (CCleaner, Argente, Revo Uninstaller etc) to make sure your Windows registry is clean of any possible orphan entries from BitDefender (there is a change that some Windows registry entries will not be deleted after running the uninstall tool);


    - for advanced PC users you can perform a registry search after "bitdefender" and delete everything not under LEGACY;


    Mike: is the issue resolved now ? Resurfaced ?


    Anyone who posted here still encounter the issue after reinstalling BitDefender ?

    Daniel M.


    I was certainly the other 10%. When I upgraded from 2011 to 2012 I used the uninstall tool from the web site rebooted and then installed 2012. Not sure if my memory serves me well, but I believe that I did not have to register my license at that time. This time however, after using the uninstall tool and deleting the registry entries mentioned in my previous note I did have to register my license. So far everything seems to be working.

    Hi there,


    I've been away for the weekend and have returned to find BitDefender Internet Security 2012 showing a log of 68 errors, starting 29th August at 22:37. They're all the same error described here:



    Update failed


    To benefit from signature updates after 30 days since the installation, you must configure a Bitdefender account!


    I'd never used Bitdefender before 2012, but as I had a shiny, new PC and a friend recommended Bitdefender, I decided to go with your 2012 product on release day.


    Note that I have a successful update on 29th August at 22:32:55


    I have clicked on the "MyBitdefender" link at the bottom of the application and I can successfully login there, with my account page showing that I have 333 days remaining on my account.


    What can I do to resolve this?


    As said above, I never had Bitdefender 2011, or any other AV, installed on this PC before Bitdefender 2012.

    Hi Dan, unfortunately there is no "continue registration" link anywhere that I can find (I spent a while looking!). See image below for what I see when opening Bitdefender.

    I tried logging in through google (same email address as my Bitdefender account) and Facebook (a different email address entirely, so created a new account) and neither helped.

    11:19:20 - failed

    every update request from that point onwards is noted as succeeded as well.


    Just thought I'd let you know, to help you improve the application.

    Hello,


    The error -1011 at update means "IO timeout", in other words that a connection with BitDefender update server could not be established at that time. Whenever you encounter this issue I would recommend you to try to update again in 10-15 minutes and then post again if the issue still occurs.


    What Internet connection are you using? If you are using a slow one (Dial-Up) then the error is totally understandable.

    update.bitdefender.com has an invalid SSL Certificate, any other site we should use or is there an ETA on getting this fixed?


    Right now my updates in 2012 don't work. It's been broken since Saturday? See the attached info from Firefox.
