No, it can only be authorized to 1 account at a time.

I think the answer is yes. But, you would have to have his account in order to de-auth his computer from his account.

I think the number comes from the content providers. I know Sony and Kindle both have the same 6ish device limit.

Also, this is from the Adobe FAQ which I assume is the issue the OP is having:

Quote:
Important: If you authorize your computer with an Adobe ID, then it will always be associated with that Adobe ID. If you do not, the account is "anonymous". If you "anonymously" activate two computers, then there are two separate anonymous accounts, which cannot be merged. Thus, the eBooks on one computer can be upgraded to "belong" to a specific Adobe ID, but the eBooks on the other cannot. If you authorize the second computer with your Adobe ID, any subsequent purchases on it are associated with that ID and transferable to any computer authorized with that ID. However, the books that were purchased on the second computer prior to being activated are forever locked to that computer.
Here is the full FAQ: http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/faq/
