SC info folder, what is it?

Unable to view rented movies, so an iTunes representative told me the problem might be solved by deleting the SC info folder. It took a while to find it but I did. And now I'm a little bit leery, I don't know what the significance of that folder is, before I go ahead and delete it. Does anybody know if it would cause any problems to the iTunes library. Thanks in events to whoever replies.

That folder stores the iTunes authorization record. Deleting it won't erase anything from iTunes, but you will need to reauthorize the computer.

It holds the authorization for the entire PC. Your itunes has a limit of 5 PCs authorized at one time.

And it got seriously messed with in iTunes v7 and v8, people not being able to play files they purchased.

You can't just log into a different Windows account and authorize a new library. That is the whole authorization foe the entire PC.


Go look at a thread named "Billing Loop", but if you're at v8 and can't play a new free downlaod of the week, you need to contact Apple.
