Expected future amortization expense for acquired intangible assets | The following table shows the expected future amortization expense for our acquired intangible assets at July 31, 2025. Amortization of purchased technology is generally charged to amortization of acquired technology in our consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of other acquired intangible assets, such as customer and user relationships, is charged to amortization of other acquired intangible assets in our consolidated statements of operations. If impairment events occur, they could accelerate the timing of acquired intangible asset charges.
