What an odd question. IPv4 uses 32 bit addresses. This results in 4,294,967,296 possible addresses, but some of these are broadcast , multicast, etc and cannot be assigned to a host. IPv6 uses 128 bit addresses. This results in 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 possible addresses, but again some of these are anycast, multicast, etc and cannot be assigned to a host.
With version 4, we are running out of addresses. But once version 6 is fully deployed, we should be ok for awhile. But if we run out again, we wouldn't just give up. We would simply develop IPv8 or whatever. For this reason, there is no maximum.
