How can I deauthorize all of my computers before 1 year?

I just upgrade my computers to Windows 10 and I need to reauthorize them, however I need to deauthorize the ones already in my account. Is there an easy way to do this without waiting 1 year?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

Clickhereand ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance. Only they can perform a second Deauthorize All within the yearly period.

Why do you need to reauthorize them? I've updated three different machines to Windows 10 (one from Win7, two from Win8.1) and in all cases the Apple ID authorization was preserved.


To deauthorize all computers within the 12 month limit, you'll need to contact Apple Supportand explain to them why you need to do so. Assuming they agree with the rationale, they can reset the authorized device count to zero for you.
