How to Install Bitdefender GravityZone using the Swif App Template

Swif now provides a pre-configured application template for Bitdefender GravityZone on Windows devices. This template simplifies the deployment process by providing a guided configuration flow, including automated license activation via the GravityZone API.

If you are looking for command installation approach, you can learn more at How to Install Bitdefender GravityZone Using a Command Template in Swif.


Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following information from your Bitdefender GravityZone console:

  • API Key: Generated in the GravityZone console.

  • Company ID: Your unique Bitdefender company identifier.

  • Product Key: Your Bitdefender license key (format: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX).


Configuration Steps

1. Locate the Template

  1. Navigate to Device Management > Applications in the Swif console.

  2. In the Application Templates for One-Click Installation carousel at the top, look for the Bitdefender Template (identified by the red "B" logo and a green "New" badge).

  3. Click Configure to start the setup. Note: This template is specifically designed for Windows.

2. Installer Arguments

The Installer Arguments field is empty by default, allowing you to input custom configuration flags (e.g., /silent /norestart). You can also use the Swif IQ-Code Mode panel on the right for AI-assisted scripting if needed.

3. License Activation (Post-Install Script)

The template includes a pre-filled PowerShell script in the Post-Install Command Script section. This script uses the GravityZone JSON-RPC API to automatically register your license key after the agent is installed.

Important: You must replace the placeholder values in the script editor. Look for the yellow warning banners and update these variables:

  • $apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"

  • $companyId = "YOUR_COMPANY_ID"

  • $productKey = "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"

4. Validation & Finalization

  • Validation Rule: The template comes with a pre-configured rule that checks for the presence of the Bitdefender agent file (or service) to confirm a successful installation.

  • Create App: Review your settings and click Create. The app will now appear in your Applications list.

Deployment & Verification

Once the application is created, you can deploy it to any Windows device with a single click. Swif will:

  1. Install the Bitdefender agent.

  2. Execute the post-install script to activate the license.

  3. Verify the installation using the built-in validation rule.
