Note:
1. This giveaway is only for Germany, Switzerland and Austria. So, in other words, you would need an IP from one of these countries.

what's the problem with changing your IP?
Noob question: how to change ip? Does it possible in Chrome?
it's system settings,not browser
go to control panel->internet options->connections tab
click "LAN settings button"
tick "use proxy server for your LAN"
how to get the proxy address and port is a different story)
try using one from the thread below
nothing wrong with changing your IP, just makes the whole process more involved than an offer that was global. Nothing wrong with this deal (I voted +ve)
You will get the following error message if your IP address is outside Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
Es tut uns leid, wir können Ihre Anfrage nicht bearbeiten.
Sorry, we cannot work on your request.
Hmmm I'm using a German proxy and it isn't going through at the moment.
"Es tut uns leid, wir können Ihre Anfrage nicht bearbeiten."
translated "Sorry, we can not process your request."
Thanx OP, exactly what I was looking for! Used german proxy 176.9.47.143:3128 thru FoxyProxy (Firefox) and it worked, serial sent to email straight away. Now to download and test if all working properly.
Cheers.. thanks for that…
Just a shame you can't use it more than once.. lol
Not sure how they're policing this one, but the other night when they were giving it away for free (again), you were able to use multiple email addresses to receive different keys that extended it beyond the 365 days!
check out some of the comments from this posting: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/91681
Yeah.. i tried using multiple address but it said that I had already claimed for the promotion.
Edit: To get more than 1 copy, simply delete bitdefender.com & bitdefender.de cookies, reload your browser and give it another email address. I got about 6 copies now.. I've been using BD for the last few years and have about 100 days left on my current sub, so this is good news.. :)
Just used FoxyProxy and this to get 3 copies, working well.
Installed/registered and all working sweet.
Direct link to US version

Download>Install>Register>PROFIT! :)
where is the serial number in email?
The serial is a 7 digit alphanumeric string found after:
"Ihr Lizenzschlüssel für die Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 für 1 PC lautet:: "
Thanks. Just used the same proxy to get myself a code.
Been a fan of BD for a while, but recently had to uninstall from 2 of my PCs. The current verson is buggy and did not play nicely with some of my apps. It caused havok when I upgraded to Win8 and I lost a day to troubleshooting some issues to find BD was blocking processes that it had happily worked with under Win7.
I get invalid email address…
Lesson to take from this: Never pay for AV software. People are always giving it away.
Thanks, just got using my VPN.
Don't think I'll install it on my main machine though, happy with MSE.
danke
I think, everyone will get the same product key: XPNFYFY
I just tried 2 different email address, and got the same product key.
no. I got a different one
just put that key into my 2012 internet security and got it bumped back up to 360 days. ty.
You will get the same product key for ONE IP address even if you try registering different email addresses. Use a different proxy address for another unique license key. I got 5 for my 5 machines :)
Not sure what's happened to you… But I received different keys every time!!!
1095 days on 3 machines now!!!
If you cleared your browser cache as a poster above suggested, you could retry as many times as you wanted.
I just used this one ontop of the ones I got, an extra 360 days - woot.
BANG license valid to 720 days :) used 2 email addresses, thanks OP.
Do it once more… Just in case you don't find something new or replace it within that time!
You can always uninstall it later if you do!!!
Keep getting invalid email for my second try. Worked the first time though!
Edit: Tried the FoxyProxy method and clearing cookies and this worked perfectly.
NB: the key must be registered within 60 days.
How can I get this? Used aGerman proxy and it says Can not process at this time?
Use the Foxyproxy method outlined above.
Can you use multiple license keys to increase the subscription from 1 year to more? eg… 3 license keys = 3 years?
Yep :) 2 years on my PC.
Wow…..amazing…thanks!!
if so…… can anyone confirm whether this is a good antivirus for Windows 8 pro?
Doesnt Win8 come with their free Defender which does adequate job or protection or not?
You want Bitdefender Windows 8 Security. Just go to BD's website and download the trial. Pretty sure the keys still work on that because it is just a rebadge.
Over 1000 days remaining now (added 2 license codes to my already existing one)! Dankeschön!
man oh man. why bother when in 6 months time another ozbargainer will post another free giveaway.
man oh man. why bother when in 6 months time another ozbargainer will post another free giveaway.
For those who can't be bothered,
Try Avast, probably the best free AV software application out there.
ATTN: Westpac Customers - you can already get 1 year BitDefender subscriptions for FREE without stuffing around with proxies when you log on to Internet Banking:
You might still want to stuff around with proxies even with that Westpac key, because this German key will be able to extend the Westpac one by at least another year. ;)
True, but….. There's a few on here, like myself, that took this route initially, got the trial download, and are still waiting days, weeks, & even months later for the code to be sent!!!
It was just easier in the end to source elsewhere!!!
All these deals/freebies & trials can be found here:

A good one to bookmark for future reference.
http://10minutemail.com will help if you need more email addresses.
Just be sure to write down the codes once sent.
Edit:
And use the same trick above to remove the cookies for 10minutemail so that you can quickly get a new email address to re-register.
Edit2:
Ok, so after using 10minutemail twice they blocked me for using too many too soon.
This one seems to be better: http://1usemail.com
Is it me or it's taking time to process it? Mine still stuck at the progress bar at the site (used foxy proxy and a german IP as suggested above)
Do people really needs 'premium' Anti virus??
I've been using AVG free (and a little common sense) for 4 years now and have never got a virus or spyware. :/
Kind of the same as asking whether people need ABS or Airbags in their cars!
It's not a necessity, but if they threw it in for free you'd take it… Just to be sure!
I don't think that analogy holds true. You can't avoid idiots/accidents on the road but you sure can pick what you view and where you go on the internet.
Sure if it's free why not, but I'd rather not fix what's not broken. I'm already feeling the pain from upgrading to office 13 from office 07 keeps bloody crashing.
First time poster long time visitor, finally joined up simply to say that BD 2013 is just full of bugs and after purchasing and using online support on numerous occasions i had no choice but to remove the software. This in itself has to be done using a special uninstall tool specific to the 2013 version, if not used when uninstalling then it disables your internet connection which i found out the hard way.
I've noticed when i set the AV 'on-demand scanning' to either Aggressive or Custom, my start menu/all program icons take forever to load.
At first i thought it was my hdd on the way out, and ended up buying a new one (stupid me).
But after playing around and setting it to 'normal' everything's now fine.
Other than that (and costing me $69) it's working fine fingers crossed
I used this Swiss proxy 217.150.244.124 port 3128
Time's up!
Still was able to get a code just then by clicking the "stop" button immediately after it loads before it redirects.
Yep, still able to get code through this method. Before it redirects you, hit stop and fill in details as usual.
how many codes u guys eat up?
still working using the stop button method and hitting the enter button I should add using Austrian proxy
thanks!
.
Still works if you press the stop button before it redirects to home (like others have said)
If you want lots of them then install this….
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remove-cookie…
…and when you want another one then just right click on the page and select 'Remove Cookies for Site..'
refresh the captcha
enter a new email address
and click the send button again
you dont even need to refresh the page
this spam email site is good…
http://www.mailforspam.com/

http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=35494
…incase you dont want to do it through the installer, or if you want to give it to people

Thanks in advance
Same here - pity I missed it. Anybody got spare key ??
Truly appreciated…
Missed out! Damn also keen on a spare if anyone has! cheers
@ kRaYziE666 , jo2055 , ycon

Got any left? Could use one as well if you do.. thanks.
PM sent
Missed out!! Any left?
Missed it. I'd really be thankful for a spare key.
Cheers buddy!
Any spare ones left :3
@sancuso I cant PM you one because I cant PM you.
You need to enable it somewhere or something.
thx mate :)
Would be great if anyone had one more spare please :)
I have Bitdefender 2012, if I download 2013 will my keys work automatically?
The 2013 keys worked on my 2012 version so I assume they would work the other way round as well.
I missed out too and just when my ESET Smart Security 6 started to give me the shits (randomly blocking websites and I don't care enough to deal with it). If anyone had a spare key that would be muchos appreciated! :D
My ESET has a lot of false positives every time I plug in an external storage device. Aside from that, I don't have any complaints with it.
It appears they have plugged to redirect bug.
Using the noredirect plugin for FireFox shows a blank page.
Thanks anywho
Damn it, missed out on this one and the one before :'(
I got two free licences yesterday via Westpac. If you are an account holder with them you get a year free.
Long shot any keys left anyone?
@ tomwood , xyron , KopyKat , Redox , equinoxxx , sancuso
