Q: Using more than five computers with Mac App Store
I own five MacBooks, four MBA and one MBP. These were purchased over a period of five years or so.
I'm considering buying a new iMac soon and wonder how this will affect my use of purchased apps as well as the "free apps" from Apple (Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie and Garage band).
My Apple ID shows I have five computers authorized. I have also a variety of iOS devices associated with the Apple ID.
I intend to use the new iMac for primarily movie editing and some Pages and Keynote work. I have no plans to download any of the purchased apps currently used with the MacBooks.
My question is will I be able to download the "free apps" using my existing Apple ID?
I do not intend to deauthorize the five and start over. I can live with having the iMac limited to the "free apps".
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
