    I was receintly at a local retail store and the OneCare CD is available for a lower price than the advertised price for the download... If I were to buy the retail CD... next year when my license expires... would I have to renew at the higher download price or could I save the $10 and buy another CD...?

    You can buy another CD and use the included PIN to renew your subscription.

    You wouldn't need to reinstall. When renewing follow the prompts and when you reach the select payment method screen select pre paid PIN.

    So I wouldn't need to "reinstall" the product... Just use the new "key" to activate the "renewal...?" Paying the retail price would suffice for the new subscription?

    Great, "Thank You"  for getting right back to me with a responce to my questions... I will give OneCare a try... I have always wished that Microsoft would come out with its own security product. It also sounds like a better set-up than using "Symantic/Norton" which always drains processing speed... and has been problemattic every time I have used it...
