*I* learned the hard way when I had not de-authorized as I replaced: 2 computers, My guy's iMac, a HD replacement in this one awhile back (THAT was a sudden failure, so I had no opportunity to de-auth it), and a MacBook Pro left me with no more auths to do. I did go to iTunes supports and they de-authorized all and I went and re-authorized the 2 I currently have.
I now have the ability to authorize 3 more if I want to. Jeeze, for a couple of clicks to keep it organized no biggie now. So maybe I don't "Have to" but the option is there.

two authorized, soon to be three when I get my MBA set up (mostly, at least
to start, for iTunes & entertainment use). The PC-iTunes I don't use to syn
with now tells me I have a zillion app-updates. I just haven't bothered to
clean out the content there.
I'll also have to deal with authorizing with Amazon & Audible. After that
I'll decide whether or not to de-auth anything.
