That depends on the OS version and the hardware you are using.

A port is a 16 bit unsigned integer, so 64K is the absolute limit.

the main listening ports for important applications.

A more stricter limitation is the OS licence. The Client versions of
Windows are restricted to 10 connections at the same time according
the the usage licence.
