Hello everyone, So I'm a newbie consultant working on a project and I need to figure out the IT costs for a department. I came across the licensing figures but they are perpetual (lifetime licenses) so was hoping to get some insight on the best way to calculate these figures annually?Any info will be much appreciated!

Estimate how many years they'll keep the software for (or, if they have specific accounting rules, the period of time over which they amortise the asset).Then divide the licence cost by that many years.I wouldn't worry about capital rates etc unless it's really, really really expensive software (like the software for a power station).

...he says as he exhales on his fingernails, rubs his lapel, and moves on to the next task of the day.

thanks BEP !
