I have now had to Authorize 2 Windows 7 PC's Twice, for 4 Total

I now have to PC's with Windows 7, which I've upgraded to iTunes 9. I went to play a movie, on the first, I was watching earlier in that day
(when it was still running Vista SP2) when iTunes told me I needed to authorize.
I did it thinking, the same thing would happen thast did in iTunes 8 when it first came out. I'd hit Authorize, be told it was & they(purchases) worked

Now I'm down to one Authorization, left for 2 Macbook Pro's and aDell XPS 730x

I'm guessing a call to support will be necessary in order to fix this issue?

Dell mini 9, Studio 17, Other OS, Vista on Studo 17

That should read:

"I now have Two PC's with Windows 7";

QUite a few people seem to have had problems with multiple authorisations accumulation of their PCs.

For each PC, deauthorise it repeatedly until you see the message that the computer was not authorised. Then reauthorise.

That worked for me.

Technically the persons answer was right, but back then(at the time I posted this question) we were not told, by apple or itunes, that we needed to un-authorize our iTunes accounts, before upgrading to iTunes 9

After reading it again, I'll let it pass, as his answer is technically correct.

I'm just glad that Micro$oft now tells us to de-authorize our iTunes account before upgrading to windows 7 with iTunes 9 on them
