The registration process converts the 30 trial days version you installed into the full registered Bitdefender product you purchased and creates your account on the Bitdefender website. You can register the product either at the moment of installing Bitdefender (see the first 4 steps of the Initial Setup Wizard) or at a later time.

In order to register Bitdefender properly after the product installation please follow the steps below:

1. Open Bitdefender at the General > Status module and then click Enter new key.
   
2. The welcome screen of the Registration Wizard will appear. Click Next to continue.
   
3. Register Bitdefender 10. In order to perform this task, choose Register the product and type the license key obtained at the purchase moment in the Enter new key field. Click Next.
   
4. Create a Bitdefender Account. In order to benefit from free Bitdefender technical support and other free services you need to create an account on the Bitdefender website.
   I do not have a Bitdefender account: type a valid e-mail address in the E-mail field. Think of a password and type it in the Password field. Confirm the password in the Re-type password field. Use the e-mail address and the password to log in to your account.

   The password must be at least four characters long.

   To successfully create an account you must first activate it. Check your e-mail address and follow the instructions in the e-mail sent to you by the Bitdefender registration service.

   Please activate your account before moving on to the next step.
   

   If you do not want to create a Bitdefender account, just select Skip this step. You will also skip the next step of the wizard. Click Next to continue.

   I already have a Bitdefender account: if you already have an active account, provide the e-mail address and the password of your account. If you provide an incorrect password, you will be prompted to re-type it when you click Next. Click Ok to enter the password again or Cancel to exit the wizard.
   If you have forgotten your password, click Forgot your password? and follow the
   instructions. Click Next to continue.
5. Enter Account Details. Fill in your first and last name and select the country you are from.
   If you already have an account, the wizard will display the information you provided previously, if any. Here you can modify this information if you want to.
   The data you provide here will remain confidential. You will enter the details here only if you did not skip the previous step. Click Next.
6. The final screen that concludes the Registration Wizard.
