How to authorize other Macs for OSX Lion?

Hello,
My sister bought a refurbished MacBook Pro that came with the former OSX release 10.6 Snow Leopard. I know that I can authorize her Mac to allow the download and installation of OSX Lion. The problem is that she already created a different Apple ID for her, however she does want Lion on her Mac. Is it possible to authorize a Mac that uses a different Apple ID from mine?
Thanks!

Authorize your computer using iTunes
Authorize your computer using iTunes
When you authorize your Mac or PC, you’re giving it permission to access your apps, audiobooks, books, music, movies, and other content. You need to authorize your computer before you can use it to sync or play content that you downloaded from the iTunes Store.
You can authorize up to 5 computers, which means you can play your content on 5 different computers. To authorize your computer, you need to have access to it. You can't authorize a computer using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
How do I know how many computers are authorized?
If you authorized more than 2 computers, you can see how many are authorized.
Open your account in iTunes and sign in with your Apple ID. (Or open iTunes, click Store > Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.) In the Apple ID Summary section, you’ll see the number of computers that you’ve authorized with your Apple ID. You can’t see the names of those computers.
Do I need to authorize my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you do need to associate your iOS devices with your Apple ID. Your iOS devices don’t use your available authorizations.
How do I authorize a computer?
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.

2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".

Help! I just got a new MacBook and I cannot figure out how to authorize it to play my purchased iTunes music.

Hi!
I just got my new Macbook today (!!!) and I love it, but I can't figure out how to authorize this computer to play my purchased itunes music. I don't have any other computers authorized to play my purchased music, as I have de-authorized my previous computer. How do I authorize this new one? I know the FAQ section says to go to Store > Authorize computer, but I can't seem to find where this is located? I've never owned a Mac before.

Silly me... I didn't realize that the top of the screen changes as you change windows (unlike windows computers). Thank you so much for the help. I really appreciate it!

How to authorize ebook reader in Adobe Digital Editions?

I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions from the website so that I can borrow ebooks via the public library system. I was able to authorize my computer, but can't figure out how to authorize by ebook reader (Kobo Touch) - without authorizing the device, I can't transfer the ebooks from my Mac to the Kobo Touch. Any information on how to authorize the ebook reader would be appreciated!

Assuming your reader is supported you need to have it connected via usb and turned on prior to launching Adobe Digital Editions. Once you launch Adobe Digital Editions it will ask to authorize your device.
If you have additional questions please post your inquiry to the Adobe Digital Editions forum.
