Here is an excerpt from that page:
NETGEAR Armor allows users to move devices associated with their accounts in the My Devices section. Here are the main benefits of this action:
Update: Users can update the Bitdefender local protection from the Armor platform (macOS and Windows products).

Thank you for all of your help!
