I have "revered" one of my installations to vers 5.0.0 and as pointed out above, the pool numbers have reverted to Normal, ie all direct relations in pool 1 and a total of 175 pools.
My file is also synced on dropbox, and the same file in vers. 5.0.2 on my laptop is exhibiting the weird behavior with over 735 pools. So definitely a problem
We have confirmed that there is a bug in the way that pools are calculated in 5.0.2. I'm sorry about that. We are testing a fix to it now, and hope to release it as a patch update shortly.

You don't have to do anything to "activate" pools. I think they are built into Family Historian and are maintained automatically. I first came across them in the standard query called Search For Orphans. I added a column to my records list of individuals with the pool number of each individual using the expression =RelationPool().
I'm sure other people have found other ways to use the pool number as well.
Confused again re pool numbers. I have just added a number of individuals, mainly Dawsons, who are NOT related to my file root, Elijah Washington Sherwood, directly.
"No direct relationship found between Mary Harriet DAWSON and Elijah Washington SHERWOOD.
Mary Harriet DAWSON is cousin of Adelbert William NORTH and Adelbert William NORTH is husband of great granddaughter of Elijah Washington SHERWOOD"
Yet all of these Dawsons show up in Pool 1. What am I missing here?
The key is in the word 'direct'. Your How Related report says there is no direct relationship between the two individuals, but it does show an indirect relationship, via a marrige between Adelbert William NORTH and the great granddaughter of Elijah Washington SHERWOOD.
Pool numbers are defined as follows: "2 individuals belong to the same pool if they are related to one another directly or indirectly."
This means that they don't use the same definition as an All Relatives diagram, for which a relative is any blood relative or spouse of a blood relative. Pools go further, and include blood relatives of the spouses of blood relatives, etc.
It has to work this way, because Adelbert William NORTH and his wife are in the same pool, and nobody can belong to more than one pool (they themselves join the pools together).
