How many devices are allowed on an iCloud account?

Is there a maximum number of iOS devices that can be attached to an iCloud account? I'm interested in pushing bulk-purchased apps to a workgroup using iPads, without having to distribute redemption codes to each user. Is this possible, and for how many machines?

Thanks!

R.

iOS 5, iCloud

Did some research. It can connect to any Mac (as long as it is running on OS X Lion), iPods, iPads and iPhones [running on iOS 5] and Windows Vista or Windows 7 (if they're normal PCs). It can store 5GB of data and pass to all your devices (if they're signed in the same account). If you run out of space you can always uprade them:


15GB= $20 per year

25GB= $40 per year

55GB= $100 per year


As long as all the iPads are signed in to the same account, you can download up to 5GB of data for free.

Conclusion: Unlimited devices can access on one iCoud account.

When you log in to find my iphone app you are asked to eneter your apple id info.

You cant use "find my iphone" with icloud accounts but only with apple id. in this case you can add up to 5 devices in one apple id.


If you are a enterprise that you can ask apple rep if they can make you a special apple id to hook up 100 devices.
