All 5 of my licenses are on computers that I don't have any more, I went to authorize my new computer but of course I do not have any more computers to authorize as all 5 have been used.

I can't de-authorize all 5 more than once a year, what's a way around this? I definitely need to keep better track of this moving forward but I can't even use iTunes match, or transfer purchases from my iPhone during a backup because of this.

On a call with Apple suppot

Apple Help said they can't do anything about it.

Make sure you guys go into iTunes and de-authorize machines before you wipe/sell/reconfigure any machines you authorize.

Technically if I bought a new Mac right now, I would not be able to authorize it in iTunes.

What a crock
