I've deauthorized devices to make room for a new device; however, it won't let me authorize it. It still thinks I have 5 devices authorized.

I'd maxed out my five authorizations. I deauthorized three; however, when trying to authorize a new device (a PC), I get a warning message saying that I still have 5 devices authorized.

Windows, Windows 10

You may want to double-check your authorized computers. See the "See your authorized computers" section in:
