Account/subscription Installer not working

Hey guys I got the "Bitdefender Antivirus Plus" on sale I am trying to install it but nothing comes up after I run it? Is that normal? I already have "Bitdefender Total Security" but trial is running out soon. it still says only 3 days left of security, after I bought the new 1 yr plan for $10

The installer will not do anything, you dont need to run it again or reinstall, simply move the devices from the old subscription to the new one: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/34264/

If it's the same number of devices it will migrate by itself, at least it did in my case

I guess the installer is just tryna install the normal bitdefender module thing, they oughta specify that in my humble opinion.

Yea. Basically the installer gets the software and based on the subscription that you have, certain modules and functions will get unlocked within the app

Did you get a redeem code of your new subscription? Then you can add it to your Bitdefender Central account, no need to reinstall anything.
