RAX 200 Netgear Armor Will Not Install

Despite two support tickets into Bitdefender-five days later there is total silence. After upgrading my RAX 200 to the most current firmware I cannot install my Netgear Armor subscription-it only gives me a trial message which of course fails with an error message-Failed to Subscribe-essentially an endless loop. I have tried a hard reset several times with no effect. I am at a loss why my paid Netgear Armor subcription is not recognized by my RAX 200 router. Sorry if there is a solution somewhere on this board but I do not have the time to go through all the messages (I tried but none of the solutions that worked for others did not work for me). Help please.
Solved! Go to Solution.

This issue has been resolved by Bitdefender 2nd level support-it appears that even though I never tried to install Netgear Armor before, when you register your product and it is Netgear Armor ready it is put into your account on armor.netgear.com as your router. Well over the years I have installed several Netgear routers that were Netgear Armor ready and all three (including the RAX 200) were listed on the Netgear Armor website. This caused the Nighthawk app to be confused as to which router you were trying to install Netgear Armor. The solution was to contact Bitdefender support (I used chat in this case) and I explained what I thought was happening https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/ (scroll all the way down to select chat or other methods of support). I gave the representative the MAC ID for my RAX 200 which of course uniquely identified my routers hardware. He immediately elevated my case to 2nd level Bitdefender support and I got the following email from Bitdefender support after about a little more than a week (he was very apologetic):
There was also a sync issue between your account and the Armor subscription because your initial purchase of Armor was for a different Netgear model (note: my attempt to install Netgear Armor had picked an old router no longer in use). To ensure that this won't happen again I have disabled the automatic renewal and you will have to manually renew it next year.
