   ASC 705-985 is a "links only" subtopic that points to the authoritative guidance elsewhere in the Codification on cost of sales and services for computer software. Its content is that amortization of capitalized software development costs for products marketed to others is charged to cost of sales or a similar expense category (per 985-20-45-1), while duplication/packaging costs are inventory costs under 985-330 and costs to keep software current with hardware revisions are addressed in 985-20-55-11 through 55-12.
