    Just install it to your new computer and activate using your live ID and password.

    Sorry Gaklu, but if you've used all 3 of your licenses already and are now getting a 4th computer, you'll need to buy a new copy of Windows One Care.  Your 3 licenses are good for the original 3 computers that you signed-up with.  If one computer dies and you replace it with another, the new one (the 4th one) will require a new product key of it's own and you'll have 2 subscriptions left to use for a later date or your other computers.

    This is not correct, Elliot.

    You can transfer OneCare as many times as you wish, as long as you never have OneCare active and running on more than 3 PCs with the same subscription LiveID at the same time.

    Optionally, you can make one PC in your subscription "Circle" into a hub and select "remove this PC from my subscription" for the details of the PC you are retiring or that has died. Note that this is optional and you are still within your license terms if you do not do this.
