Deauthorize all and then reauthorize any you still have. See: Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support

Also note it is applicable only to computers See the following from the same link:

You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or other Apple device. These devices don’t use your available authorizations. Learn how to check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in and how to remove a device.

Thank you, FoxFifth! I had figured it out, but thank you so much ^_^

I would have thought there would be a less drastic solution than de-authorizing everything globally and then reauthorizing select machines, but the whole process went quite smoothly

{It may be due to being a musician that I've become skittish about making initiating changes.}
