I don't believe they do.


What is more likely is that you have replaced an old computer, or one of your computers has been re-built (fixed by changing the hard drive or by re-installing the operating system) and this would count as a new computer.


The solution is go into your iTunes account and de-authorise all your computers. Then re-authorise just the three computers you do still have.
