Our intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset. The range of remaining estimated useful lives and weighted-average amortization period over which we are amortizing the major categories of definite-lived intangible assets at August 31, 2015 were as follows:
Category of Intangible Asset |  | Range of Remaining Estimated Useful Lives |  | Weighted Average Original Amortization Period
License rights |  | 11 years |  | 30 years

Customer lists |  | 2 to 4 years |  | 14 years
Internally developed software |  | 1 year |  | 3 years
Trade names |  | 2 to 4 years |  | 5 years
Our aggregate amortization expense from definite-lived intangible assets totaled $3.7 million, $4.0 million, and $3.2 million for fiscal years 2015, 2014, and 2013. Amortization expense from our intangible assets over the next five years is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

Our goodwill balance at August 31, 2015 was generated from the fiscal 2009 acquisition of CoveyLink Worldwide, LLC (CoveyLink), the fiscal 2013 acquisition of Ninety Five 5, LLC (Ninety Five 5), and the fiscal 2014 acquisition of Red Tree, Inc. The previous owners of CoveyLink, which includes a brother of one of our executive officers, were entitled to earn annual contingent payments based upon earnings growth over the subsequent five years. These contingent payments were classified as goodwill on our consolidated balance sheets when paid according to previously existing business combination guidance. During fiscal 2015 we made a $0.3 million final payment based on the results of a reassessment of the terms and conditions of the CoveyLink acquisition. Our consolidated goodwill changed as follows during fiscal 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):
Balance at August 31, 2013 | $ | 16,135
Contingent earn out payment on |  |
CoveyLink acquisition |  | 3,456
Acquisition of Red Tree, Inc. |  | 50
Accumulated impairments |  | -
Balance at August 31, 2014 |  | 19,641
Contingent earn out payment on |  |
CoveyLink acquisition |  | 262
Accumulated impairments |  | -
Balance at August 31, 2015 | $ | 19,903
The goodwill generated by the Red Tree and Ninety Five 5 acquisitions are primarily attributable to the organization, methodologies, and curriculums that complement our existing practices and content. All of the goodwill generated from the acquisition of Red Tree and Ninety Five 5 is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
