A new software release is issued at the end of June. The following new user activations are recorded for the three months following release:

Month of July: 225 new user activations

Month of August: 270 new user activations

Month of September: 350 new user activations

The Total Wins for the software release during this period can then be calculated as follows:

Wins in July = 225

Wins in August = 270

Wins in September = 350

Total Wins = (225 + 270 + 350) = 845

Month of July: 81 Trials Complete, 67 Successful Trials

Month of August: 107 Trials Complete, 88 Successful Trials

Month of September: 142 Trials Complete, 119 Successful Trials

The Total number of Unsuccessful Trials during this period can then be calculated as follows:

Unsuccessful Trials in July = 81 – 67 = 14

Unsuccessful Trials in August = 107 – 88 = 29

Unsuccessful Trials in September = 142 – 119 = 23

The following user deactivations or cancellations are recorded for the three months following release:

Month of July: 18 deactivations or cancellations

Month of August: 13 deactivations or cancellations

Month of September: 24 deactivations or cancellations
