Hi Val,

We have from time to time considered software as equipment but it has to
be a significant amount $10,000 to $15,000 or more and to be our
property.  If it's a license, you don't really own it.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Software as equipment?

Greetings!  I would be interested in hearing how many institutions
identify
software/software licenses that are over $5,000 as equipment?

As always, thanks for your responses!
