FAQs

Q1: Can I combine two Bitdefender activation codes?

Yes. When both codes are for the same product, the second code can extend your subscription duration.

Q2: What happens when I remove a device?

The license becomes available, and you can assign it to another device without losing protection time.

Q3: How can I check how many devices are in use?

Log in to Bitdefender Central → “My Subscriptions” → See the number of devices used vs. available.

Q4: Can I transfer my license to someone else?

Yes. You can remove the product from your device and share the installer with another user.

Q5: What happens if I let my subscription expire?

Your devices will lose real-time protection, and Central will show a warning. You can reactivate anytime with a new code or renewal.
