Is there a way to upgrade to Windows 8 security without buying another license?

Hi,
For me, same license works for both versions. But I've bought (reniew) it in OCT 2012.
I don't know if this is still working because I see a small difference in price between those two versions.
On the other hand, BitDefender's policy allows free upgrade of versions.
If you don't have the patience to wait for an official answer you may try it, BUT be very careful about uninstallation of BDIS 2013.
After uninstall, use CCleaner (it's free) to clean the registry, reboot and then install BD Win8 Security using the same license.
If you finally try this, please let us know what happened.

Thanks Werby. I'm going to wait until morning to see if there's an official response and then try your solution. Right now I'm exhausted from trying to set up and learn Windows 8.

This forum is monitored "occasionally" by one person from Bitdefender. I suggest you contact the phone support folks to answer the question.
For me I have Sphere (Total Security across as many devices + Android as I want) with multiple Windows 8 machines, not the Windows 8 version of Bitdefender and it works well for me.0 -

Hello,
What Will Wood suggests you is the best solution.
BUT in this thread we have the bellow answer from BD support that is wrong :I contacted support about the same question and was told:
kindly inform you that your license key ******* is for Bitdefender Internet
Security. Unfortunately, you cannot use it for Bitdefender Windows 8. Please
uninstall this product and after that, follow the next link in order to
download the full kit for Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 which is
compatible with Windows:
So, you decide...
At least you can try.

Hello NoArmsJames,
I see the Customer Service dept. already replaced your Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 key with a key valid for Bitdefender Windows 8 Security 3 users/1 year via ticket ID: 201301101001097.
I declare this topic closed.0
