    You can just use toggleClass this will add or remove it as necessary

    $('.main li').live('click',function(){
  $(this).toggleClass('active');
});

    if you want to remove this class from elsewhere, you can add an extra line:

    $('.main li').live('click',function(){
  $('.main li.active').removeClass('active')
  $(this).addClass('active');
});
