Quick Summary
Deciding whether company software is a capital asset or an expense depends on its cost and useful life. If the software is a significant purchase with a useful life exceeding one year, it should be capitalised as an intangible asset and depreciated. For lower-cost software or items with a shorter lifespan, it's generally expensed.

Software is a intangible assets of a company, if amount is material for Company and have a useful life more than 1 year, you can Capitalised that and can claim depreciation.

if amount is not material, than you can expensesd out....

It depends upon what kind of software it is , if it is  a low cost accounting software, better to expense it off.
