From: Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support

- "You can authorize up to five computers at a time to play your iTunes Store purchases.

- Each computer that you authorize counts as one authorization — even if you authorize the same computer multiple times.

- If you have five authorized computers and want to authorize a new computer, you have to deauthorize one of your computers."


If necessary, deauthorize all.
