Authorize new computer - account says only one allowed, why?

I am not able to authorize my new computer, or deauthorize my old one in the account area, even though that should not matter since I can have 5 devices, right? So I cannot buy or rent any movies this evening.

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

You can have 5 computers authorised at any one time.
