Thanks for the info.
Sorry for the very basic question, ** twhat is included in these 5 devices? Only PCs or all devices i.e. PCs, Ipod; Iphones and Ipads?
Only computers. The same computer if accessed via different profiles only uses one authorisation. If the computer holds multiple operating systems each will be seen as a separate computer for the purposes of authorisation.
If the latter, Apple will need to re-think the limit of fives: two PCs, one Ipod; one Iphone and one Ipad and u r at the limit! If you have a spouse or child then ???
Don't worry - Apple are happy for you to buy as many of their devices as you want. You can put your protected content on as many devices as you have but each is limited to holding protected content from up to five different accounts.
What other options are available after you have reached the limit of five, if you cannot (or do not want) to de-authorize any?
If you cannot identify/access an older machine to deauthorise it then wait until you get to five machines and deauthorise all. You can then reauthorise the machines you
do want to use. If you've authorised five machines and don't want to deauthorise any of them then don't try to access authorised content from that account on a sixth machine.
Each machine can hold authorised content from up to five accounts at any one time, and each account may be authorised on up to five machines. Authorisation for DRM'd content is checked during playback and transfer to an iDevice. You only need authorise those machines with which you want to access your DRM'd content.
