If the problem persists, contact support.” even though the user ID and password is correct. The error code is 80048883.

The unable to connect to Microsoft’s Windows Live server error occurs probably due to connection been blocked when trying to establish, caused by invalid, incorrect or corrupted SSL certificate or tighten security for non-Trusted Internet sites.

The URL or domain suffix for activation service is different from the typical popularly used standard Live sites at live.com or OneCare product page at onecare.live.com.

http://iorigin.onecare.live.com
Once done, try to sign in to Windows Live to complete the OneCare activation setup again.

hi !! I have found that you have to type the PIN without capitalizing the letters. Do not turn cap lock on or use the shift key for the letters!
