Revenue should be recognized by applying the principles as laid down in AS9- Revenue Recognition.
As per the AS revenue in case of sale of goods should be recognized when the seller has transferred the
property in the goods to the buyer for a consideration
In a transaction involving the sale of goods, performance should
be regarded as being achieved when the following conditions have been fulfilled:
(i) the seller of goods has transferred to the buyer the property
in the goods for a price or all significant risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the seller
retains no effective control of the goods transferred to a degree
usually associated with ownership; and
(ii) no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the
consideration that will be derived from the sale of the goods.
So you will have recognize revenue from sale of the software products by applying the above principles.
