Activation Guide

There is a one-time workaround for global activation. Please follow the steps below:

1. If you have a VPN, connect to the USA server and proceed with the activation. Once the activation is complete, and the subscription is in your Bitdefender account, disconnect the VPN. You will not need it anymore.

If you do not have a VPN, you can have a reputed FREE VPN by following the steps below:

2. Download and Install TunnelBear:

Windows: https://tunnelbear.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/pc/TunnelBear-Installer.exe

Mac: https://s3.amazonaws.com/tunnelbear/downloads/mac/TunnelBear.zip

3. Create a free account on the VPN app and verify the account email.

4. Once the account is ready, connect to "United States."

5. Once the connection is ready, Restart your Browser. This step is important to ensure that your browser is detecting the correct VPN Server.

6. Open the Bitdefender Central account, Visit the "My Subscriptions" section, and "+Activate with Code".

7. Once the activation is over, you can stop the TunnelBear VPN connection and uninstall it if you wish. All the Existing installations or new installations from your Bitdefender Central account will detect the subscription from your account and activate itself.
