Mine doesnt say that even on the account where I downloaded the dlc? Should it say that? If it doesnt matter then cool, I'll try again tomorrow, thanks.
Also if you deactivate that account that means you wont be able to use it on any account, right? Or can you onlly not use it on the one you downloaded it on? :/
Ye that used to be there in the old PS3 update. I really liked that, you couldn't click on Activate as it meant that account is activated on that PS3. After the PS3 updated they removed that, I really don't know why or when/if it will come back. So you won't be able to tell what account you used to download the DLC from. Just go through your downloads list in transaction management and see if that account has the DLC, if it does, then that account is probably the account you downloaded the content from.
Downloading anything from PSStore activates that account on your PS3, you are able to use the content on the PS3 (which means any account on that PS3). Deactivating would disable the content for the whole PS3, so no accounts on that PS3 would be able to use it. Other PS3s that are activated won't be effected, as you would have to deactivate manually on those PS3s to deactivate the content there too.
