As I understand it, youur previous activations are still taken, unless you de-activate them before installing the new version over the old version (there's a different serial number each year, so each serial number gets tied to the computer to which it is installed.

So yes, you potentially could have nine activations if you installed 2018, then upgraded to 2019, then upgraded to 2020, but didn't de-activate any.
