Authorize or deauthorize your computer for Apple Account purchases - Apple Support

You may have to unauthorized All your Macs and then reauthorize them one at a time. This would be most helpful if you no longer have some of the Macs that have been previously authorized.

If you still have any of the Macs that were authorized you have to deauthorize them from there.
