What you need to know about authorizing your computer
How to authorize or deauthorize your Mac
How to authorize or deauthorize your Windows PC
You can authorize up to five computers at a time to play your Apple Account purchases.
Each computer that you authorize counts as one authorization — even if you authorize the same computer multiple times.
If you have five authorized computers and want to authorize a new computer, you have to deauthorize one of your computers.
You can only authorize a computer that you have access to. You can’t authorize a computer using another computer or an iPhone or iPad.
Once you authorize your computer in any Apple app, you can access all of your Apple Account purchases in other Apple apps.
After you authorize your computer, your computer is associated with your Apple Account for purchases. Other devices — like iPhone and iPad — don’t count toward your authorized computer limit. However, these are associated with your Apple Account for purchases. Learn how to view your associated devices.
