For Adobe Digital Editions, I don't know if there is an exact number. And deactivating a device is not as straightforward as it is with the Sony. Jim Lester who posts here from time to time and I believe works for Adobe has said that Adobe's approach is to simply add more allowed devices over time to take into account users switching out computers and readers.

I confirm dordale's post.
I have also read similar posts by Jim from Adobe. It should be no big deal for them to increase your activations.
According to the ADE FAQ's: "You can activate up to six computers and six devices. If you reach the limit, contact Customer Service to increase your allowable activations." You can see the FAQ's on Adobe's website here:
