Hi SandSBW, activating it will end your trial but the activation code does not expire so you can use it at the end of your trial.

Hi DexterJB . Just to make sure I understand this, an activation code is issued by Bitdefender upon purchasing Armor for USD 79/year. Based on your response to SandSBW , the clock doesn't start ticking on the one-year paid Armor subscription UNTIL IT IS ACTIVATED, not from from the purchase transaction date. So if I buy the Armor Netgear license today May 10th but only activate it on June 30th, my one year subcription will start from June 30th. Is that correct?

DexterJB - You are mistaken. The PR says the new subscription starts after the trial period but from experince it starts the day you make the purchase. I thought the same but I subscribed with 3 weeks left on the trial (figured it would kick in afterwards) but the clock started ticking the day I made the purchase.

Hi garyalbert, welcome to the community. If by any chance you have proactively activated your code, then that will end your trial as I have also mentioned in one of the posts above. This link provides the description.
