    If you changed your password to be longer than 8 characters after installing OneCare originally, you need to change it to a shorter one at http://account.live.com in order to complete activation.
    If you forgot your password, you can reset it at the above link.
    If you forgot your LiveID - 

    you will need to contact support who can provide that information to you using your Key and/or contact information.

    Alternatively, sign in at http://billing.microsoft.com with email addresses that you have set up as LiveIDs and one will show your subscription listed - that would the LiveID to use to activate with.

     

    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

    See my previous reply for how to contact support in order to find out what LiveID your subscription is linked to.

    Go to http://onecare.live.com and select Member Accounts on the left. Then "add a computer" on the right. Follow the instructions to install and activate with your subscription Live ID.
