I just deactivated an Apple ID.

I called up account security team and they deleted my account. The rest of the data will be entirely erased in one or two weeks. My question is that whether my iclo account will be deleted as well? And top of this, am I eligible again to activate a new iCloud account on my iPad (I have reached the account limit and I have activated them all on the same device, which is my iPad) ? Now that I have deleted one, I wonder if I can make it or not. Hope pros can help with me! Thanks!

iPad Air, iOS 9.2.1

No. You will not be able to create a new iCloud account one that device. The account limit is not changed because you have deleted an Apple ID. You will need to create a new Apple ID on another device and then you can sign in to it on your iPad.

It is said that every account is linked to a serial number. Since the account has been deleted, I assume this will automatically free a space.

What do you mean by a "space"

An Apple ID can have device serial #'s associated with it, but it's not a forever type of thing. If you sell or lose a device, go to supportprofile.apple.com and remove it.

As LACAllen indicated, you would have to set up the iCloud ID on another Apple device or Mac. Once you have set it up, you can sign it on anywhere you want.
