With the advent of accessible and affordable gadgets, people tend to have more than one device or smartphone. The device list broadly includes Windows. Mac, Android, and iPhones.
Well, at least that's what defines me.
In such a case, you need separate antivirus software for each operating system, unless you have a multi-device protection suite that protects an unlimited number of devices.

The scenario above considers an individual. However, the total number of devices rises if everyone has multiple gadgets. Moreover, this number isn't there to stay; it may rise or fall at any time during a year's subscription period. Also, the number of devices to protect massively increases when you include your family members.
So, let's see how Bitdefender, one of the top antivirus providers, helps protect the massive number of devices we have.
Important Plan Update
Bitdefender has updated its product lineup in recent years. Bitdefender Family Pack is no longer available for purchase on Bitdefender’s official website. It is still available through some resellers.
Newer plans like Total Security Family, Premium Security Family, and Ultimate Security Family now support more devices and include updated features.
Note: This article includes Family Pack details for reference, along with how it relates to the newer plans.
Still considering Bitdefender Family Pack?
It is still available through some resellers and can be a good option if you only need to protect upto 15 devices.
Is there a Bitdefender Unlimited Device Subscription?
The short answer is no.
Earlier, Bitdefender had an unlimited device subscription package called Family Pack to tackle such a situation. The product is still named Bitdefender Family Pack, but "unlimited" is no longer the tag. Even when Bitdefender used the Unlimited Subscription tag in the past, their fair usage policy limited it to 20 devices.
Note: Bitdefender's new family plans can protect up to 25 devices.
What replaced Bitdefender Family Pack?
Bitdefender Family Pack has been replaced by Total Security Family, Premium Security Family, and Ultimate Security Family. All these newer plans support upto 25 devices and 5 accounts.
How many devices does Bitdefender Family Plans cover?
Bitdefender's newer family plans can support up to 25 devices and 5 accounts. You can invite 5 family members with different email addresses, each of whom can either use their existing Bitdefender Central account or create a new one. Now, all devices are managed through a single subscription via Bitdefender Central.
The old Bitdefender Family Pack protected upto 15 devices and supported multiple platforms and included products for each platform:
- Bitdefender Total Security for Windows PC.
- Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac for Apple Macbook and iMac.
- Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android Smartphones and Tablets.
- Bitdefender Mobile Security for iOS
How much do Bitdefender Family Plans cost?
Pricing is now based on the new family subscriptions -- Total Security Family, Premium Security Family, and Ultimate Security Family.
If you are buying for a family, Total Security Family is the best to start with. Upgrade to Premium or Ultimate only if you need features like Unlimited VPN or Digital Identity Protection.
Note: Bitdefender Family Pack subscription is still available through resellers, and you can often get it at a significant discount.
I have only 3 - 5 devices in the family but on different platforms
In this case, you can purchase Bitdefender Total Security, which supports Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android up to 5 Devices. It is cheaper than the Family pack.
Now Bitdefender has simplified things. Total security is available in both Individual and Family plans, so it replaces what the Family Pack used to offer.
Is Family Pack different from Total Security?
Earlier, Family Pack was a package containing Total Security as a product. You can read more about the difference.
How can I protect more devices with Bitdefender?
Earlier, the only home user product that could protect more devices (upto 20) was Bitdefender Small Office Security.
Note: The new Bitdefender Total Security plans can now protect up to 25 devices.
Is Bitdefender Premium VPN included with Family Pack?
No. Bitdefender Premium VPN is not included in Family Pack by default. When you download the Family Pack products, you will get the Free Bitdefender VPN with daily 200 MB of free traffic. Read our Bitdefender Premium VPN Review for further details.
Note: To access Premium VPN, you will need a Bitdefender Premium Security subscription, which comes at a budget-friendly price. However, you can check the Bitdefender Family Pack with Premium VPN combo at Dealarious store with 65% discount.
How many License Keys are given?
You will get one license key to redeem the subscription in your Bitdefender Central account. In some regions, Bitdefender might add the subscription directly to your account when you purchase it on their website.
