Re: psn 5 activated users
it would come out as 2.
Each d/l is tied to a particular PSN ID, so for it to come up with that message, your PSN ID must be activated on 5 physically different PS3s
note though, that if your PSN ID was activated on a PS3 which died, it will still count as one of those 5 - UNLESS you sent the dead one back to Sony and specifically asked them to deactivate it.

Just for note - so that you know 
The reasoning behind all of that is:
Sony (kindly) allow us to d/l a game from the PSN onto our PS3.
They recognise that some people own more than 1 PS3, and therefore (very kindly) allow us to d/l the same game to another PS3 (with the same PSN ID in it) - for free
They also (extremely kindly) recognise the fact that we sometime pop round to a friend, who has their own PS3. In order to let us shown off the d/l we bought, we can then sign into PSN (using our own PSN ID) on the friend's PS3, and re-download it (again for free).
NOTE - when leaving your friends, you MUST deactivate your account on their PS3*
Sony have decided that the number of consoles which most reasonable owners would need to use the d/l on is 5 - which seems pretty fair
* if you do not do this (deactivate your account on their PS3), you are classed as 'bad' game sharing - which can lead to a PSN ban.
'good' (allowed) game sharing is when you activate your PSN ID only on consoles which you (or your immediate family) physically own, or temporarily on a friend's console, whilst you are there using it.
hope that makes sense!
