Very good layout and easy to understand a mod should sticky this thread.

The layout isn't very helpful, it says I am activated in 6 ps3s...that's not possible. To make matters worse, it doesn't give much info about the different machines.

[Farscape247]

that is probably showing psp's aswell that is why you seeing 6.

[Ajescent]

I have 2 ps3s and 1 psp (might be 2 because 1 psp got stolen so I had to buy another.) but all in all it says I have 6ps3s and 2psps...

Thank you! I was running dangerously low on account activations

You can also get to the new portal using the old account management address:

https://store.playstation.com/login.gvm

It will take you to this page:

Just click "Manage Your Account" and you will be redirected to the new portal.

This is very helpful, thank you! Have now cleared all activations for my old account, had many activated due to technical errors with my systems (ylod) 

Once again, thank you for this feature

Hello and welcome to the PlayStation®Community.

At the moment Video, Music and Comic Media cannot be deactivated using the online portal.

You can only deactivate this media from PlayStation®Network using your PS3™ or PSP™ system:

1. On the XMB™ menu, go to PlayStation®Network and sign in to your PlayStation®Network account.
2. Go to Account Management > System Activation > PS3™ System or PSP™ System.
3. Select the type of content you no longer want your PS3™ System or PSP™ System to use.
4. Highlight [Deactivate System] and press the  button.
5. Your system will then be deactivated.
6. Highlight [OK] and press the  button.

For alternate methods of deactivating your PlayStation® systems see this help article:
