Overcoming iTunes 5 User Limit

[dav]

Googled around a little bit, but nothing came up.

Is there anyway to disable the 5 user limit that was placed on iTunes some time ago? Or at least make it so it is 5 users at one time rather than 5 users/day total.

Thanks

Ah sorry, should have clarified.

I am referring to the shared music feature, not the authorizations. Only five users can connect to a certain library to listen to their music.

See these ancient threads:

A maximum of five computer can use Home Sharing at one time. If this limit has been reached and you want to add a new Home Share, turn off Home Sharing on one or more machines using the Advanced menu in iTunes.

I think the OP might be talking about the old iTunes sharing feature (that lets you connect to someone else's library and play their content, but not sync it) as opposed to the new home sharing feature that lets you synch content?

They didn't specify which version they have, but it looks to be the same limitation:

Sharing your iTunes library across computers

If your computer is connected to other computers over a local network, you can share items in your library and playlists with up to five of those computers (in the same subnet).

Not sure if this will help but try this.
