I can't authorize my brand new iMac cause it says I already have 5 computers authorized but I deleted two of them from my account

How do I get Apple Music to understand that I have deleted two of my old computers?

iMac 27″, macOS 11.4

If you’ve never de-authorized any computers then they continue to take up slots in your authorized devices list.

If you no longer have the computers and can deauthorize them individually in iTunes on each computer then you will need to deauthorize all your computers, and then authorize the ones you still own.
