Yes, but not at the same time. If a registered system is sold to a new user, the old user becomes a former user of that system, so there's still only one user of that system at a time.

Seems your definition of what a user of a system is differs from my definition. After all, there aren't millions of Amiga users out there, are there?
I have to agree with Andreas here Jim. Your statement made little sense where the count of active MorphOS users is the question at hand. Most users who sell one of their MorphOS registered systems have 1 or more other registered MorphOS systems, but that does not change the fact that the actual number of active MorphOS users is not changed when one user sells a registered system to a new user, and that there are far less active users, than the number of registered licenses/key files, that have been mailed out by the MorphOS Dev. Team. That is not worded well, but I think you get the jist of what I am trying to say.
An existing user with multiple MorphOS systems does increase the number of active users by selling one of his registered MorphOS systems to a new (not a former user) non-MorphOS user, but that can't be reflected by the number of registered licenses/key files, because it is unknown publicly how many users have more than one registered license/key file.
My guess is that we have somewhere between 1,000 to 2,000 unique MorphOS users, and a possibility that the number is just slightly under 1,000.
