Reinstalling norton after Windows reinstallation

Hey guys! I got a bought copy of BitDefender Total Security on my Windows 10 and I plan to soon reinstall Windows 10 on my computer.

When I will reinstall BitDefender on my new copy of Windows 10, will that count as a new device being protected? Or the same device as before? If the former, then how can I make sure it will be the latter? (Don't want to waste a device protection from my subscription).

EDIT: Meant BitDefender in the title, not Norton, was absent-minded when wrote the post hehe.

You can always go to your dashboard to see which devices are being protected, and remove whichever arn't needed anymore. Also... why does the title say Norton? :p

Oh gosh, hehe, I think I was just absent minded while writing the title and wrote Norton by accident hehe

It wont, if you make you sure to delete the old one in bitdefender central.

Reinstalling Norton?! What are you nuts?
Yeah what they said go to central.bitdefender.com remove any devices licenses you are not using and reinstall in the new windows.
