Axigen BitDefender Error after upgrading to 10.7.0

After upgrading from 10.6.x to 10.7.0 and checking the status of Axigen:

systemctl status axigen

Axigen reports:

INFO: Bitdefender integration license is not available
INFO: BitDefender license config: No AVMKey present
WARNING: 10 respawns in 300 seconds reached for external filter ‘bitdefender’

There is no BitDefender licence, no AVMKey, and BitDefender is not configured as an Active Filter. The server otherwise operates normally. It appears Axigen attempts to spawn the BitDefender external filter despite the integration being unavailable.

(Installed on RHEL 9.8)
