I only see one machine authorized but cannot authorize another computer

I am unable to authorize my Mac, but when I check my account, it only shows one Computer Authorization and does not let me manage authorizations.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.2

I tried this, but there was no method of managing the authorizations, as I mentioned in my original post.


I ended up contacting Apple and they confirmed the issue and performed the de-authorization for me since it wasn’t available to me.
