Q: Deauthroize all computers again

I've just done some major upgrades to my two home computers, and I wanted to authorize iTunes. The problem is I deauthroized all my computers last August, and I'm being told I can only do it once a year. Is there any way to override that? Otherwise, I have two of my five authorizations used up on computers that I still have but can't listen to. Any help would be appreciated.

    If you don't need all 5 then you don't have to deauthorize.

     

    You can deauthorize individual computers at any time without doing all.  You have to use the computer itself.

     

    You can ask Apple if they will reset the clock but they may not do it.  See the contacts link at the bottom of this page.

    The take home lesson is that if at all possible your should deauthorzie Windows computers using iTunes before performing any major update, especially if you've used the deathorize all command within the last year.
