@MECHAunitAMH1 Your devices section in the web Android market keeps track of your devices (even remembering older ones you don't use any longer). When you boot a custom firmware, it doesn't add a new device to your devices -- it's still counted as the same device and doesn't add to the activation count.

I am curious to know how the activations count because it could potentially count a new one every time some one boots a custom rom.
