Can anyone confirm the scan speed improvements and is the license upgrade able for existing bitdefender users.

... is the license upgrade able for existing bitdefender users.

Post #7 in this Wilders thread suggests that a 2013 key can be used to activate it.


This was posted a week ago on BD forum, I thought it would be beneficial to clarify

The keys that have 7 digits will work on Bitdefender 2011/2012 and 2013, those that have 20 digits will function on all products starting with Bitdefender 2008.
