OneCare licenses

I have recently installed OneCare on a fourth machine. I did this without
setting up a new account - just adding a new machine to the ones I have on
the account already. The license agreement states that one license is good
for up to three machines, so I want to make sure that this is ok and I will
just be billed for two licenses on the same account - or if it's not that I
go ahead and set up a new account (I really rather have it all on one account
if possible!)
Also, I have recently rebuilt a couple of machines, so I ended up installing
and registering OneCare on the same machin more than once. I used the same
computer name whenever I re-added it to the account, but I want to make sure
that the number I have registered is correct (4) also.

Thanks,
Merrick

I sent this from the OneCare help window and it ended up here. Is that right
- or where do I find the OneCare discussion group? Thanks.

Engel has already pointed you to the OneCare forums, and if you've posted there,
great - it is the right place to discuss OneCare.
However, the answer to your question is that the current license agreement is
for up to 3 PCs on a subscription. Any more than 3 and you are not abiding by
the terms of the subscription license. If you have more than 3 computers, you
will need a second subscription which means a separate LiveID for numbers 4-6,
as the billing system can't deal with multiple subscriptions for the same
product/service.
