Installing Bitdefender on (2018) Mac mini from Armor App

Ok...I followed the instructions below, did this several times.

To install Bitdefender Security on-the-go protection on your devices:

Note: Make sure to download the Nighthawk or Orbi app before proceeding with the following instructions.

  1. Launch the Nighthawk or Orbi app.
    The Dashboard displays.
  2. Tap Security.
  3. Tap the tile labeled Bitdefender Security Available.
    A notification about the features of Bitdefender Security displays.
  4. Tap Got it.
    A list of the devices that are connected to your router displays. These devices don’t have Bitdefender Security installed.
  5. Tap a device that you want to install Bitdefender Security on.
    Details about that device display.
  6. Tap Add Bitdefender Security > Install.
    Available sharing options display. You can send the installation link via text message, e-mail, or the Airdrop feature (iOS only).
  7. Select a sharing method.
  8. Using the device that you want to install Bitdefender Security on, visit the activation link that you sent via e-mail, text message, or Airdrop.
  9. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Bitdefender Security on your device.
  10. Repeat Steps 5-9 for each device that you want to protect.

Unistalled and tried the above steps several times. At the end of tthe instalation process (each time I did this) of Bitdefender on my Mac I get asked by Bitdefender for an Activation Code. Not sure where I can find this code, one was never sent to me. Bitdefender support I have to say is pretty lame....they were no help. I have a fully paid subscription for Armor.

 

 

Thank you

        Hi fadtmd, 

         

        Correct, the serial number of your router.
