Software

Software as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, consists of the following (in millions):

			2025						2024
Software from acquisitions			$	386					$	880
Capitalized software development costs			3,614						3,151
Purchased software			689						605
			4,689						4,636
Accumulated amortization			(1,813)						(2,110)
Total Software, net			$	2,876					$	2,526

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company entered into long-term payment arrangements of $72 million, $158 million, and $28 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 year ended December 31, 2025, there were no material software asset impairments. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $19 million and $81 million, respectively, of software asset impairments. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $18 million of incremental software amortization expense driven by the Company's platform modernization. Platform modernization included 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 $699 million, $585 million and $588 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
