13. Registration and My Account<br />

Registration is a two-step process:<br />

1. <strong>Pro</strong>duct activation (registration of a BitDefender account). You must<br />

create a BitDefender account in order to receive updates and to have access to<br />

free technical support. If you already have a BitDefender account, register your<br />

BitDefender product to that account. BitDefender will notify you that you need<br />

to activate your product and it will help you fix this issue.<br />

Important<br />

You must create an account within 15 days after installing BitDefender. Otherwise,<br />

BitDefender will no longer update.<br />

2. Registration with a license key. The license key specifies how long you are<br />

entitled to use the product. As soon as the license key expires, BitDefender stops<br />

performing its functions and protecting your computer. You should purchase a<br />

license key or renew your license a few days before the current license key<br />

expires.<br />

If you purchased BitDefender <strong>Antivirus</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> <strong>2011</strong> on a CD/DVD or online, you were<br />

prompted to register your product with a license key during the installation.<br />

If you downloaded BitDefender <strong>Antivirus</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> <strong>2011</strong> for evaluation, you must register<br />

the product with a license key to continue using it after the 30-day trial period.<br />

During the trial period, the product is fully functional and you can test it to see if it<br />

meets your expectations.<br />
