Why exactly do you need more than 5 authorized computers?


Are you purchasing, downloading and listening or watching music, movies or Tv shows from the iTunes Store on more than 5 computers?


iPads don't count towards the 5 computer limit. They count towards the 10 general device limit.


Are you sure you need more than 5 authorizations?
