Software

Software as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, consists of the following (in millions):

			2024						2023
Software from acquisitions			$	880					$	754
Capitalized software development costs			3,151						2,775
Purchased software			605						633
			4,636						4,162
Accumulated amortization			(2,110)						(2,047)
Total Software, net			$	2,526					$	2,115

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company entered into long-term payment arrangements of $158 million, $28 million, and $3 million, respectively, for certain purchased software. The related long-term payment obligations are classified as Other noncurrent liabilities, with the current portion recorded in Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities, on our consolidated balance sheets. Periodic payments are included in Other investing activities, net, on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $19 million, $81 million and $31 million, respectively, of software asset impairments and $0 million, $18 million and $75 million, respectively, of incremental software amortization expense driven by the Company's platform modernization. Platform modernization includes sunsetting

certain technology platforms, which resulted in shortened estimated useful lives and accelerated amortization methods primarily impacting the associated assets over an approximate three-year period, beginning in the third quarter of 2021.

Amortization expense for software was $585 million, $588 million and $640 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
