Netgear Armor activate after free trial

Question

How to activate the payed Armor subscription on my router after trial time?
Up to know my Router says Armor not activated. The app is trying to activate trial version. But I activated the trial version already and it expiered. By the time I was not ready for the pay version. But now.

A few Days ago I decided to reset the router. But nothing changed. It will still activate the trial mode, without success. Every unit does have the most actual firmeware from Netgear.
How can I activate my license in the router for Armor?

After sending several print screens, finally I got the answer from Bitdefender Support to do a restart my router and trying to activate Armor. My first thought too, I've already done it like ten times or so... but surprisingly it worked as it should the first time. Should I now ask why? Actually not but I asked anyway. The answer was: We made some changes from our end.Fair enough, now it is working.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Thank you very much.First link I tried. Problem is that the nighthawk app shows Armory Security status not activated. As soon as I press on the Armory Icon within the app it starts trying to activate Test period. I tried it several times but there is just showing up activation failed and I just have the possibility to OK this message. Everything starts now from beginning. I've done that several times with no luck.&nbsp;Second LinkAs soon as I logged in to&nbsp; armor.netgear.com I can see my router under my routers. My Rax200 does even have a green dot, I assume that it should be ok. Within Menu MySubscriptions I can see my subscription as active, green marked. As I go in the subscription there is mentioned Router Security Active, Devices: 0.As mentioned on front end log in to the router, and nighthawk app, Armory is not activated.I tried it, uninstalling and reinstalling nighthawk app on mobile phone. Without success. I'm not able to activate Armory.&nbsp;Firmware on Router: V1.0.3.106&nbsp;
