It's easy to keep track of how many times a software package is downloaded, but that really doesn't tell you how many people actually installed it or stuck with it.

Then of course the number of paid subscribers is another and better indication of how many users you have.

Because of the regularity of database updates, I would imagine that the downloading of movie profile updates during the course of the year would be another way to track regular usage.

Can anyone point me to a best guess for our current estimates of user base, either paid or free?

Ken could,
I just doubt that he will.

From what I see in Germany we have about 50 frequent contributors, if I assume that only 1% of the paid users really contributes this gives about 5.000 paid licenses in Germany. But it is just a guess based on an assumption, so possibly not very accurate.
