What is the Maximum number of Masters a custom object can be?

Hi !  

 

I've learnt that an object can be Master for only 2 objects.

 

But I've created a custom object named "course" to be a Master in more than 2 Master Detail Relationships(I might have converted lookups to master in few cases though).

 

Please clarify the point.

 

Thanks..

An object can be Master for any number of objects but one object cannot be associated with more than two Master objects.

 

One Detail(Child) object cannot have more that two Master(Parent) objects. We cannot create third Master-Detail relationship because the Master-Detail option will be grayed out after second associations.
