Suspending and reactivating companies

If you are no longer doing business with a company, you can suspend their account. If that company has child accounts, you have the option to suspend them at the same time.

Suspending only one company account will not automatically affect the accounts created from the suspended account. Those accounts will continue to work as before.

Choosing to suspend a company account together with its child accounts will render all those accounts unavailable.

Suspending a company has the following consequences:

  • The company users cannot log in to BitdefenderControl Center

  • The endpoints directly managed by the suspended company are expired.

    Note

    Only the endpoints that have been protected with the Bitdefender security agent installed from a kit specifically created for the suspended company are expired.

    Bitdefender security agent is not uninstalled from the expired endpoints. Once the company is reactivated, all expired endpoints will be automatically registered.

When reactivating a company account, you have the option to activate all its child accounts at the same time.

To suspend a company account:

  1. Go to the Companies page.

  2. Select the company account from the list.

  3. Select the More actions menu at the upper side of the table and click Suspend.
