You can see the instructions on how to do this at Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases


Scroll down that page and you will see

Deauthorize a computer

  1. On a Mac, open the Music app, Apple TV app, or Apple Books app. On a PC, open iTunes for Windows.
  2. From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose Account > Authorizations > Deauthorize This Computer.
  3. Sign in with your Apple ID.
  4. Choose Deauthorize.

If you run out of authorizations, deauthorize all.


The last step also applies if you no longer have one of the authorised Macs.
