- 845-985Software845 Nonmonetary Transactions
ASC 845-985 formerly provided industry guidance on nonmonetary (barter) exchanges involving software, principally software revenue recognition in exchanges of software products or licenses. Every paragraph in this subtopic — scope, recognition, and implementation guidance — was superseded by ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The subtopic therefore contains no operative guidance; nonmonetary consideration in software arrangements is now addressed under ASC 606 (noncash consideration) and general nonmonetary guidance in ASC 845-10.
