2. If one of the choices is Deauthorize Computer, your computer is already authorized.
   
   
3. If one of the choices is Authorize Computer, follow the steps below.

Although authorization is automatic, there may be times when you will need to authorize your computer by hand.

When would I authorize my computer?

- If you have previously deauthorized a computer, and now you wish to use it to play secure Rhapsody content again, you need to reauthorize it.
- If someone else has logged onto your computer and signed in to his or her Rhapsody account, the computer will be authorized under his account, and you may need to reauthorize.
- If you have performed any steps that affect your Windows Media DRM components or Helix DRM components, you may need to reauthorize your computer.
