As regards software, capitalization is stillan subjective matter ecen in practical life...
Many capitalize it & many write it off.
Fact is that U never purchase a software. U just purchase rights / license...
It depends on nature of software.
It its totally new software & needed to run computer, then it will be capitalised with computer & if seperately purchased (as in ur case), then it will be capitalised (depending on nature of software) & it will be armotized over useful life. AS 26 says 3-5years are sufficient...
But softwares like SAP ERP can be armotized over many years as cost runs into crores.

As per Indian GAAP. If the software is such that which are required to run a computer, then it will be capitalised as Computer.
