Try viewing the product key with a magnifier. If you are sure the product key was entered correctly please contact support. How to reach support - http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsOneCare/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2421771&SiteID=2

Go to billing - https://billing.microsoft.com/home.aspx and sign in using the Live ID and password used to purchase One Care to verify your subscription status. Then open One Care, select "Subscribe" and when asked to enter a Live ID use the Live ID and password used to purchase your subscription. Your subscription status will be recognized and One Care will activate.Saturday, July 19, 2008 3:15 PMModerator

If you are getting an error about the key being invalid, you are mistaking at least one character or you have a misprinted key. The latter is very rare, though it can happen.
I hate the font that they use for the key - some characters are miserable to discern. J and I look all too much alike, as do O and 0.
I recommend that you use a magnifying glass to check the characters closely - I find that I need to do this. If you are still encountering a problem with activation, you have about 2 weeks to get activated, so I'd go ahead and open an email request to support, explaining the problem. See the FAQ and use the Trial user option to start the email request. If you can provide a digital image - scan or photo - of the key to the tech that responds, they can validate the key for you.
