    Actually, if you are renewing OneCare and it is already installed on your PC, you should *not* reinstall OneCare.

    You already have the latest version of OneCare on the PC. If you reinstall and use the same LiveID to subscribe, it will inherit the subscription status and you will not be asked for your new retail key.
