    I currently have live care on two computers,the subscription ends in 12 days,i bought a new live care cd thinking i can download it and i would be good for another year,it did not recognize it as new cd and still said i have 12 days left,i even uninstalled live care and then reinstalled the cd but it still tells me i only have 12 days left.

    I do not use credit cards only paypal but the renewal centre does not use paypal or i would have renewed it there.

    thanks

    You did not need to uninstall/reinstall. You simply needed to renew with the retail key.

    Now that you reinstalled, by activating with the same LiveID, the new install inherited the subscription status of the existing subscription and you were not prompted for payment or a retail PIN/Key.

     

    Go to http://billing.microsoft.com and sign in with your subscription LiveID. (Open OneCare and click help/about to view the subscription LiveID)

    Select the OneCare subscription and click on the renew link.

    Choose the option to renew with a prepaid PIN or token which is the retail product key.

    Enter the 25 character key and proceed.

    It can take up to 24 hours for the subscription status to be updated in OneCare if you are renewing within 30 days of expiration and 5 days if renewal was performed between 90 and 30 days before expiration.
