29 License Trends 29 *In Q3 25, the Company updated its definition of PitchBook licensed users, primarily to remove Morningstar and PitchBook employee users. Q2 25 user counts reported here reflects the updated methodology. The timing of activities, such as user maintenance, user audits, provisioning access, shutting off of users, and updates to the user lists when enterprise clients renew, results in fluctuations in licensed user counts over time. As a result, licensed user growth trends are best assessed on a rolling 12-month basis.
