Sorry to pester you guys, but I just did a fresh install for a friend and he wanted Bitdefender Free installed. So I did, it seems to be running fine. BD updated and told me I has 29 days left. But when I tried to register, I got an error message saying, "the connection to the server failed, the product cannot be activated". It's scanning and working fine but it's at 29 days and counting. Any ideas ? I went and installed it on an old xp box that was sitting around and get the same error message.

That's the program not being able to connect to it's server, not the PC.

Hey MinecraftKid45, I knew that it wasn't connecting to the server, I was just wondering what happens next ? At the end of the 30 days I'll lose realtime protection. I guess I just wait and see. Thanks.
