Download and install OneCare from http://onecare.live.com
Once it is installed, click subscribe and sign in with the LiveID you used to purchase with and your trial copy will activate.
Make sure that you've removed your prior security software first.

If the activation dialog already contains a LiveID from a prior attempt or one used in trial mode, but this is not the one you need to activate with to associate it with your subscription, see this post for how to reset this - http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onecareinstallandactivate/thread/f5ce50e4-9165-40a5-891b-fe5d0659738b
For more information see Instant Help - http://help.live.com/help.aspx?project=onecarev2&mkt=en-us&querytype=topic&query=OneCare_PROC_FindLiveIDHelp.htm
If you mean how to remove your prior security software, you will find it in Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs (XP) - Programs (Vista).
You can also go to the web site of the vendor for that software and search their support pages for instructions and often a removal utility.
