There are many reports about this in the Wilders. This is probably a bug of Bitdefender.
You have to sign into Bitdefender Central to activate the 6 month license.
Create account, sign in, then BIS 2016 should auto-activate...

in my case bitdefender gui wont show up at all, then i cant do anything.. just bitdefender there doing pretty much nothing in my pc :/
Heh, heh... typical, odd, quirky BD mis-behavior.
Try link provided above. Maybe if you sign in through the online portal it will correct issue. Perhaps not, but you have nothing to lose.
Bitdefender would be an ideal advanced antivirus for me... if it worked as described.
Every time I try it, it ends up malfunctioning or causes serious system issues.
I have tried it on 4 separate systems. Each time I uninstalled it after only a day or so.
Like I always say, if you can't get something to work, then it is worthless...

I signed into Bitdefender Central and checked my subscription. I got the free 6-month key and it's working. I have 170 days left. It's just on the desktop, the Bitedefender icon is grayed out and says I to sign in to activate.
I'm signed in on my account. The Bitdefender Menu opens and says I have 170 days left. It's just the icon is grayed out. Plus, I can't use the widget.
The notifications section (the bell on the upper right hand corner of Bitdefender Central Profile) shows an "Issue" every time Bitdefender is turned on on my computer.

To activate the 180 day license, you have uninstall a trial version obtained from elsewhere.
In other words, you have to use the installer that is downloaded from Bitdefender Central; if you used any other installer then there will be problems because all activation\authentication occurs via a link between the BD Central installer and BD Central portal.
If you did use the correct installer, try BD Repair function.
On W8/8.1 it can be found as a tile on the Start Menu.

thanks for your help, sadly it wont work... well i give up on this version i may keep bitdefender 2014 on my pc, after all bitdefender just bloated their software, compared with 2014 version this one is almost the same in terms of protection... and yes, it is a headache with bugs, but for me i think is ok (not the best) but they manage to make me happy despite the bugs and BSOD xD
I would use BD if it worked. I value minimalist softs... plus BD firewall policies at max settings are 1st rate... up there with Comodo and Emsisoft.
You have to use NEW BD Uninstall tool. Download from BD forum. Search "How to upgrade BD 2014\15 to 2016." You will find "How to" link to BD about how to carry out process.
Once run NEW tool, then do a manual search of registry. CTRL + F "Bitdefender." Delete all remaining keys. Reboot. Then follow instructions for 2016 install.

well actually i did use revouninstall which is better i think... but well i decided to go back with emsisoft, i tried to reinstall almost three times with no sucess and the last time i got an error with bdelam.sys which almost locked me out of my pc (not even in safe mode could boot) so i will wait few months to see if they repair those problems, we are in october, may be i will wait until 2016 to use bitdefender 2016 lol xD

Bitdefender - Every bit is full of Bugs. They should rename it to Bi-Bugger 
Had horrible experience last time and never gonna use it again.

Every time I try a new version it doesn't even last 3 days on my systems... serious\critical issues begin within the first 24 hours.
It's the same ... every new version ...

You need to install a latest version of Bitdefender. First uninstall an older one and then re install again with latest version.
