      This means that as an Anonymous user, your end user can use up to ten views before needing to register. When the end user registers, the number of views they had in the Anonymous trial is included in the number of rules counted in the Registered trial. For example if an anonymous end user views five articles and then registers, the count measured against the Registered user type limit starts at five. This means that the user has ten further views before they encounter the limit set for the Registered user type.
