Is that 11 500 000 subscriptions sold to date or 11 500 000 currently active accounts?

I'd go for subs sold to date, any way you look at it, it looks better to use the highest number available, and it can only be: total sold to date.

1.3 - It is
11.5 million active accounts, not free trials, not expired accounts. Just accounts that have payed for a month or more and are active.
