SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. We capitalize incurred labor costs for software development from the time the preliminary project phase is completed until the software is available for general release. Research and development costs and other computer software maintenance costs related to software development are expensed as incurred. We amortize capitalized software value on a straight-line basis over that estimated useful life of five years. If the actual useful life of the asset is determined to be shorter than our estimated useful life, we will amortize the remaining book value over the remaining actual useful life, or the asset may be deemed to be impaired and, accordingly, a write-down of the value of the asset may be recorded as a charge to earnings. Amortization begins when the related software features are placed in service. In the normal course of business, we occasionally abandon software development projects due to various reasons. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 we recognized $2.9 million of accelerated amortization with respect to a change in estimated useful life of an abandoned software development project.
Software development costs, net was comprised of the following at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
