Deauthorizing...

So, I forgot to deauthorize my music on my Mac before I reformatted the drive...I assume this means I have permanently eaten up one of the three authorizations I can have to play music.



Luckily I CCCed the drive--if I boot from the clone and run iTunes to deauthorize the music, will that free up the computer?



It's so weird to have to worry about this stuff.

uhhhh...i just ran diskwarrior...will this also take away one authorized computer??? yikes....

I think it's only a problem when you totally reformat...and I was able to boot into the old system, turn off authorization, boot back into the new system and the computer is still authorized...only once, which is great.
