    Hello,

    I have a question from a friend, he purchased a 3 subscription OneCare.  Installed one on his notebook, one on my desktop.  Then his notebook hard disk died.  So he was given a loaner from the store while the other was in for repairs.  He used the 3rd OneCare with the loaner.  His question is - Is he able to have access to his OneCare acct without purchasing it again?

     

    Thanks in advance :-)

    Hi,

    The mechanism is that OneCare can only be installed on three machines simultaneously. If you go to the desktop PC and make it a Hub PC, on the Circle tab you will be able to remove the loaned laptop from the circle. Then it can be installed on another machine.

    Hi,

     

    Thank you so much, I was able to see that there was just my desktop and the loaner in the circle, so he'll have no problem with setting up OneCare on his repaired notebook.

     

    I appreciate your time.

     

    :-)
