Hi,
this sounds like an old problem that appeared sometime last year, so I'm 
guessing you're using an old Licq version. This problem is due to a 
change in the ICQ servers so you either need a newer version of Licq or 
you need to patch the old version.

The login problem was corrected in Licq 1.3.6 but we very much recommend 
the latest version so try to get Licq 1.3.7 directly.

If a newer version is not an option for you, then patches are available 
for Licq 1.3.4 and 1.3.5 from the news entry (link below). Note that 
this requires you to recompile Licq and if you're going to recompile, 
you might as well compile a newer version instead.
