About associated devices
You can have ten devices (no more than five computers) associated with your Apple Account for purchases at one time.
Associated devices are not the same as the devices that you’re currently signed in to with your Apple Account. You can find out where you're signed in on your Apple Account page.
Use a Mac or Windows PC to view your associated devices
Open the Apple Music app or Apple TV app.
From the menu bar on your Mac, choose Account, then choose Account Settings. Or on your Windows PC, click your name at the bottom of the sidebar and then choose View My Account. You might need to sign in to your Apple Account.
Click Manage Linked Devices. If no devices are associated with your Apple Account, this section won't appear.
If your device isn’t on the list
If your device isn’t on the list and you can’t use it to make purchases, that device might be vintage or obsolete.
