Q: how many devices can you use your icloud id on

I am trying to find out how many devices i can use an iCloud ID on to track iPhones and iPads.  We have about 200+ devices, and would like to be able to track them and reload them when they are turned in, without having to ask the user for the account info.

    You would probably need to contact Apple to get a definitive answer on that.  An Apple ID that is used to access iTunes in the Cloud (such as downloading previous purchases, turning on iTunes Match or turning on Automatic Downloads) can be associated with a maximum of 10 devices, 5 of which can be computers (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627).  (An iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.)

     

    If you aren't using iTunes in the Cloud on any of these devices, presumably that restriction wouldn't apply.  However, since iCloud is designed for personal rather than enterprise use so there may be a limitation on the number of devices that can share an account.  I've just never seen it documented.
