Hi, Thanks for sharing this since I did not have any idea regarding the offers end date (y).

Just a quick query does holding periods before activation of the digital subscriptions purchased from resellers like Amazon or SerialCart or StackSocial or Best Buy vary from those purchased directly from product website. I could never find answer mentioned directly and thought reaching out here.

I always had concerns cautioning purchase action on whether the clock starts from the date of actual purchase or permits holding the license onto for later date digital activation. Is there a suggested period before which it should be activated ( like within an year or 6 months max) or once purchased there in no expiry on holding/ keeping the license for even couple of years and remain eligible for activation for the entire license term. Thanks

When you buy Bitdefender from their website, the countdown starts right after the purchase. See, When does my subscription start:

When you buy it from a 3rd party, Bitdefender "doesn't know" you have that license key until you enter it into to your Central account, so that's when the countdown starts. See, Best Answer from this thread. I personally wouldn't wait a year to activate it, just too be sure ;) :)

And if you still need greater peace of mind, contact Bitdefender support from here, Purchase and Manage Subscription then go through the prompts until you get the black Contact Support box and choose one of the 3 options. Chat support is the quickest and easiest way to get your question answered or started.

Try to enter Indian "shipping" address on Amazon. It would help :) https://www.fakexy.com/fake-address-generator-in
Please take no offense, but any time I would have to circumvent a shipping address to purchase a product, would be the end of the line for me and to do or try something else. What happens at renewal time, repurchase it through the Bitdefender store website?

When you buy product you just get license key. You enter it on BD site and thats all. If period ends you just need to buy another key. There are no renewals with product keys. If you buy direct from BD site then yes - autorenewal will be active.
Makes me wonder, how inexpensive could Bitdefender (or any other Av)be sold for and there still making money? isn't this kind of price gouging base on geographic (I don't know )average income?
On different regions you get different prices. It's same with Youtube subscriptions, spotify and etc. :)

As far as price gouging, I'm not sure. But it's always better to turn off Auto renewal with BD, and they will send you a discounted price about 2 weeks before your subscription ends, compared to it renewing at a higher price.

Good point, as you're just getting the initial subscription key to start the process. It's just me, but I'm still not a fan of those type of work arounds :)
