Hi All,

I was collecting estimations of the CCHK Licenses Usage Statistics in
the morning and discovered some encouraging figures. This exercise was
previously executed on 30 Apr this year and overall there is a 17.55%
rise in licenses adoption in less than 4 months. Details are listed
below (please excuse for the mess in presentation the figures in pure
text):

          Total  260,717  221,788  17.55%

When I collected the statistics in Apr, I actually had doubts whether
on the trend of adoption - will it be just due to the launch? The
figures collected today is a very encouraging indicator.

Haggen
