Can this be done straight from vita? I can't use the deactivate all option right now

why would you want to deactivate?

I used account switcher now I have my main account on my vita and I want to get rid of it, I don't want my main account connected to 3.60 vita at all. Right now my vita is activated to two accounts I only want it on one.

I strongly recommend keeping it activated unless you have a specific reason to deactivate it.

Unless you want to download your legally bought games and stuff from PSN. But you'd need to upgrade your Vita's firmware to most recent one though.

If you have a backup of activation files from both accounts, replace the data from the account you want to have on your Vita and remove the ones from the account you want to "remove". I've done it on my Vita, but I'm using the same account on two of my Vita's and both are activated, so I'm not that sure it will work.

On that lame brand owner "eye's", the Vita is activated if the act.dat is present on the system. Recently they have been deleting such file if the Vita is on firmware 3.60 while connecting to PSN, leaving the Vita not activated.

AFAIK, the activation relies on the user account on PSN (the activation files) and the Vita itself, so then, by changing the account, removing the activation files from the Vita and trying to connect to PSN with the new user credentials (username and password) if any, the Vita should change its status to not activated, unless the new user had it activated too.

I've tried to use both of my Vita's with the same account, it worked and both Vita's remain activated. But as expected, the activation files are different for each one. I haven't used any account switcher.
