Please suggest whether Purchase of user licence for operating ERP needs to be capitalised as intangible asset in the books of account as per AS-26 or expensed off in the year of purchase?

09 July 2013 For accounting purpose:-

upgradation of software , purchase of licences and purchase of computer software are intangeble assets,

therefore, expenditure incurred on purchase of software/upgradation software should have been capitalised and amortised over their estimated useful life as per AS 26,
