One one of your other PCs running OneCare, open OneCare and click Your OneCare Circle in the left side. Click Make this PC a Hub PC and sign in with your LiveID for the subscription. All 3 PCs will appear in the Circle list. For the PC you are no longer using OneCare on, click "remove this PC" in the Details. If additional "ghost entries" appear for past installs to other PCs under different PC names, remove them, too.
You should then be able to activate on the new PC. If not, please contact support.

Ernie48,
"not letting" how? Are you encountering an error message?
Basically, you are simply activating OneCare on the new laptop with your subscription LiveID. If you removed the old PC via the "hub" PC, and you have less than 3 computers listed, you should be able to activate with no restrictions.
If you wish to contact support:

Hi, Ernie.
Have a look at this thread:
http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsOneCare/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2910333&SiteID=2
The 3010 error should only occur if you are trying to purchase a new subscription with a LiveID that already has OneCare active on the account, which is what you have. If you sign in with that LiveID when activating on the new PC, it should see the subscription and proceed. However, if there is a problem with the LiveID, it won't be able to bring down the credentials.
One response in that thread suggested you may need to contact support to have it checked out and corrected, but the post that interested me the most was the actual solution in that case - the user changed his password to be less than 8 characters long and activation was successful. If you are using a long password, change it at http://account.live.com
If not, please go ahead and contact support.

Ernie48, send me an email at sboots@mvps.org with a subject line including "OneCare" (to get past my spam filtering) and in the message body, tell me what country you are in, your forum nickname, and paste this link:
