Each Apple ID can support authorization for five devices. Once you reach that limit you must de-authorize devices in order to add a new one. Or you will need another Apple ID. Devices authorized on the second Apple ID are not authorized on the first one.


There is a limit of three Apple IDs. After that, you must pay for additional ones.
