For example, should we be counting the number of installs? Or number of concurrent users (e.g. what happens when a user installs the software on 5 machines but only runs one at a time?)? Or number of downloads? What happens if the same user downloads the app 100 times? When users uninstall the app, do we get a unit back? The point is, we need a very concrete definition of how to count units.

Or even more fun, if you install an update of the app, say once a month, that’s 12 units per year per user - Or am I misunderstanding the ‘unit’ thing?
