Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, we have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures we normally include in our annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In managements opinion, we have made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November27, 2009 on file with the SEC. Our first quarter fiscal 2010 financial results benefitted from an extra week in the quarter due to our 52/53week financial calendar whereby fiscal 2010 is a 53-week year compared with fiscal 2009 which was a 52-week year. With the exception of the adoption of an accounting pronouncement related to revenue recognition, discussed below, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November27, 2009. Recent Accounting Pronouncements There have also been no new recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March5, 2010, with the exception of those discussed below, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November27, 2009, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us. Revenue Recognition In October2009, the FASB amended the accounting standards for certain multiple deliverable revenue arrangements to: provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated; require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using the best estimated selling price (BESP) of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of selling price or third-party evidence (TPE) of selling price; and eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. We elected to early adopt this accounting guidance at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2010 on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified after November27, 2009. Multiple Element Arrangements We enter into multiple element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a

Acquisitions [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS On October23, 2009, we completed the acquisition of Omniture, Inc. (Omniture), an industry leader in Web analytics and online business optimization based in Orem, Utah, for approximately $1.8billion. Under the terms of the agreement, we completed our tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Omniture common stock at a price of $21.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest. Acquiring Omniture accelerates our strategy of delivering more effective solutions for assembling, delivering, targeting and optimizing Web content and applications. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. We have included the financial results of Omniture in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on the acquisition date. Following the closing, we integrated Omniture as a new reportable segment for financial reporting purposes. The total purchase price for Omniture was approximately $1.8billion which consisted of $1.7 billion in cash paid for outstanding common stock, $85.0million for the estimated fair value of earned stock options and restricted stock units assumed and converted and $14.4million for direct transaction costs. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, adjustments were made to the preliminary purchase price allocation to reflect the finalization of the valuation of intangible assets and deferred revenue. Additional adjustments were also made to restructuring liabilities, taxes and residual goodwill. Of the total purchase price, a preliminary estimate of $1.3billion has been allocated to goodwill, $436.1million to identifiable intangible assets, $35.0million to net tangible assets and $11.7million to restructuring liabilities. We also expensed $4.6million for in-process research and development charges. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to certain restructuring liabilities, income and non-income based taxes and residual goodwill. The following table presents the results of Adobe and Omniture for the three months ended February27, 2009, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning fiscal 2009. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2009 or of results that may occur in the future.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments [Abstract]
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS	NOTE 3. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Cash equivalents consist of instruments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. We classify all of our cash equivalents and short-term investments as available-for-sale. These investments are free of trading restrictions. We carry these investments at fair value, based on quoted market prices or other readily available market information. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses are recognized when realized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. When we have determined that an other- than-temporary decline in fair value has occurred, the amount of the decline that is related to a credit loss is recognized in earnings. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consisted of the following as of March5, 2010 (in thousands): Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Estimated Cost Gains Losses Fair Value Current assets: Cash $ 81,729 $ $ $ 81,729 Cash equivalents: Money market mutual funds 1,444,137 1,444,137 Bank time deposits 47,701 47,701 United States treasury notes 6,999 6,999 United States local government municipal bonds 1,500 1,500 Government guaranteed bonds(1) 4,999 4,999 Corporate bonds 2,379 (2 ) 2,377 Total cash equivalents 1,507,715 (2 ) 1,507,713 Total cash and cash equivalents 1,589,444 (2 ) 1,589,442 Short-term investments: United States treasury notes 392,963 2,243 (12 ) 395,194 United States government agency bonds 87,626 257 (13 ) 87,870 United States local government municipal bonds 88,451 4 88,455 Government guaranteed bonds(1) 214,081 2,641 (10 ) 216,712 Corporate bonds 240,423 3,783 (47 ) 244,159 Obligations of foreign governments 30,869 307 31,176 Multi-lateral government agencies bonds 11,333 189 11,522 Subtotal 1,065,746 9,424 (82 ) 1,075,088 Other marketable equity securities 2,508 5,346 7,854 Total short-term investments 1,068,254 14,770 (82 ) 1,082,942 Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments $ 2,657,698 $ 14,770 $ (84 ) $ 2,672,384 Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consisted of the following as of November 27, 2009 (in thousands):

Derivatives and Hedging Activit

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Derivative and Hedges Activities [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	NOTE 5. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES In countries outside the U.S., we transact business in U.S. dollars and in various other currencies. Therefore, we are subject to exposure from movements in foreign currency rates. We may use foreign exchange option contracts or forward contracts to hedge certain operational (cash flow) exposures resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts, carried at fair value, may have maturities between one and twelve months. The maximum original duration of any contract is twelve months. We enter into these foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated revenue in the normal course of business and accordingly, they are not speculative in nature. We recognize derivative instruments and hedging activities as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. We record changes in the intrinsic value of these cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, until the forecasted transaction occurs. When the forecasted transaction occurs, we reclassify the related gain or loss on the cash flow hedge to revenue. In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, we reclassify the gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest and other income, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income at that time. We also hedge our net recognized foreign currency assets and liabilities with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that our earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These derivative instruments hedge assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies and are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded to interest and other income, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. These derivative instruments do not subject us to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged. We mitigate concentration of risk related to foreign currency hedges as well as interest rate hedges through a policy that establishes counterparty limits. The bank counterparties in these contracts expose us to credit-related losses in the event of their nonperformance. However, to mitigate that risk, we only contract with counterparties who meet our minimum requirements under our counterparty risk assessment process. In addition, our hedging policy establishes maximum limits for each counterparty. W

We consolidate Adobe Ventures in accordance with the provisions for consolidating variable interest entities as we have determined we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance and we have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits through our limited partnership interest in Adobe Ventures. The partnership is controlled by Granite Ventures, an independent venture capital firm and sole general partner of Adobe Ventures. We are the primary beneficiary of Adobe Ventures and bear virtually all of the risks and rewards related to our ownership. Our investment in Adobe Ventures does not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The primary purpose of our limited partnership interest in Adobe Ventures is to invest in securities of private companies which either operate in, or are expected to operate in, industries where technology and business model trends are expected to have an impact on our core business. Our maximum capital commitment to Adobe Ventures is $104.6million, of which, approximately $95.0 million has been invested. Adobe Ventures carries its investments in equity securities at estimated fair value and investment gains and losses are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Substantially all of the investments held by Adobe Ventures at March5, 2010 and November27, 2009 are not publicly traded and, therefore, there is no established market for these securities. In order to determine the fair value of these investments, we use the most recent round of financing involving new non-strategic investors or estimates of fair value made by Granite Ventures. We evaluate the fair value of these investments held by Adobe Ventures on a regular basis. This evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing each companys cash position, financing needs, earnings and revenue outlook, operational performance, management and ownership changes and competition. In the case of privately-held companies, this evaluation is based on information that we request from these companies. This information is not subject to the same disclosure regulations as U.S. publicly traded companies and as such, t

Income Taxes [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES The gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits at March5, 2010 was $217.5million, exclusive of interest and penalties. If the total unrecognized tax benefits at March5, 2010 were recognized in the future, $200.2million of unrecognized tax benefits would decrease the effective tax rate, which is net of an estimated $17.3million federal benefit related to deducting certain payments on future tax returns. As of March5, 2010, the combined amount of accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on our tax returns was approximately $16.2million. This amount is included in non-current income taxes payable. The timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain as are the amounts and timing of tax payments that are part of any audit settlement process. These events could cause large fluctuations in the balance sheet classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities. We believe that within the next 12months, it is reasonably possible that either certain audits will conclude or statutes of limitations on certain income tax examination periods will expire, or both. Given the uncertainties described, we can only determine a range of estimated potential decreases in underlying unrecognized tax benefits equal to $0 to approximately $13 million. These amounts would decrease income tax expense as a result of our adoption of new accounting standards related to business combinations in fiscal 2010. In December2009, we repatriated $700million of undistributed foreign earnings for which a deferred tax liability had been previously accrued. As such, a long-term deferred tax liability of approximately $200million was reclassified from deferred income taxes to income taxes payable.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES	NOTE 11. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES Fiscal 2009 Restructuring Plan On November10, 2009, in order to appropriately align our costs in connection with our fiscal 2010 operating plan, we initiated a restructuring plan consisting of reductions of up to approximately 630 full-time positions worldwide and the consolidation of facilities. In connection with this restructuring plan, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded restructuring charges of approximately $25.5million related to ongoing termination benefits for the elimination of approximately 340 of these full-time positions worldwide. As of November27, 2009, approximately $2.5million was paid. The restructuring activities related to this program affected only those employees that were associated with Adobe prior to the acquisition of Omniture on October23, 2009. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we continued to implement restructuring activities under this program. We vacated approximately 8,000 square feet of sales facilities in Australia, Canada, Denmark and the U.S. We accrued $0.4million for the fair value of our future contractual obligations under these operating leases and we expect to pay these facility related liabilities through fiscal 2011. We also recorded charges of $11.9million for termination benefits for the elimination of approximately 159 of the remaining full-time positions expected to be terminated worldwide. The remaining accrual associated with these ongoing termination benefits is expected to be paid during fiscal 2010. The following table sets forth a summary of restructuring activities during the three months ended March5, 2010 related to our fiscal 2009 Restructuring Plan (in thousands): November 27, Costs Cash Other March 5, 2009 Incurred Payments Adjustments 2010 Termination benefits $ 22,984 $ 11,925 $ (24,035 ) $ (1,118 ) $ 9,756 Cost of closing redundant facilities 377 (29 ) 2 350 Total $ 22,984 $ 12,302 $ (24,064 ) $ (1,116 ) $ 10,106 Accrued restructuring charges of approximately $10.1million at March5, 2010, was recorded in accrued restructuring, current on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total costs incurred to date and expected to be incurred for closing redundant facilities are $0.4million and $15.1 million, respectively. We expect to pay the accrued termination benefits and facilities-related liabilities through fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011, respectively. Included in the other adjustments column are $0.7million related to changes to previous estimates and $0.4million related to foreign currency translation adjustments. Omniture Restructuring Plan We completed our acquisition of Omniture on October23, 2009. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we initiated a plan to restructure the pre-merger operations of Omniture to eliminate certain duplicative activities, focus our resources on future growth opportunities and reduce our cost structure.

Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY	NOTE 12. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY To facilitate our stock repurchase program, designed to return value to our stockholders and minimize dilution from stock issuances, we repurchase shares in the open market and also enter into structured repurchases with third-parties. We did not enter into any new structured repurchase agreements during the three months ended March5, 2010 and February27, 2009. We have previously entered into these agreements in order to take advantage of repurchasing shares at a guaranteed discount to the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of our common stock over a specified period of time. We only enter into such transactions when the discount that we receive is higher than the foregone return on our cash prepayments to the financial institutions. There were no explicit commissions or fees on these structured repurchases. Under the terms of the agreements, there is no requirement for the financial institutions to return any portion of the prepayment to us. The financial institutions agree to deliver shares to us at monthly intervals during the contract term. The parameters used to calculate the number of shares deliverable are: the total notional amount of the contract, the number of trading days in the contract, the number of trading days in the interval and the average VWAP of our stock during the interval less the agreed upon discount. During the three months ended March5, 2010, we repurchased approximately 1.7million shares at an average price of $36.21 through structured repurchase agreements entered into during fiscal 2009. During the three months ended February27, 2009, we repurchased approximately 5.0 million shares at an average price of $22.79 through structured repurchase agreements entered into during fiscal 2008. As of March5, 2010 and November27, 2009, the prepayments were classified as treasury stock on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the payment date, though only shares physically delivered to us by the financial statement date are excluded from the denominator in the computation of earnings per share. As of March5, 2010, there were no up-front payments remaining under the agreements. As of February27, 2009, approximately $19.7million of up-front payments remained under the agreements. Subsequent to March5, 2010, as part of our stock repurchase program, we entered into a structured stock repurchase agreement with a large financial institution whereupon we provided them with a prepayment of $250.0million. This amount will be classified as treasury stock on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 19 for further discussion of our stock repurchase program.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease Commitments We occupy three office buildings in San Jose, California where our corporate headquarters are located. We reference these office buildings as the Almaden Tower and the East and West Towers. In August2004, we extended the lease agreement for our East and West Towers for an additional five years with an option to extend for an additional five years solely at our election. In June 2009, we submitted notice to the lessor that we intended to exercise our option to renew this agreement for an additional five years effective August2009. As stated in the original lease agreement, in conjunction with the lease renewal, we were required to obtain a standby letter of credit for approximately $16.5million which enabled us to secure a lower interest rate and reduce the number of covenants. As defined in the lease agreement, the standby letter of credit primarily represents the lease investment balance equity which is callable in the event of default. In March 2007, the Almaden Tower lease was extended for five years, with a renewal option for an additional five years solely at our election. As part of the lease extensions, we purchased the lease receivable from the lessor of the East and West Towers for $126.8million and a portion of the lease receivable from the lessor of the Almaden Tower for $80.4million, both of which are recorded as investments in lease receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This purchase may be credited against the residual value guarantee if we purchase the properties or will be repaid from the sale proceeds if the properties are sold to third-parties. Under the agreement for the East and West Towers and the agreement for the Almaden Tower, we have the option to purchase the buildings at anytime during the lease term for approximately $143.2million and $103.6million, respectively. The residual value guarantees under the East and West Towers and the Almaden Tower obligations are $126.8million and $89.4million, respectively. These two leases are both subject to standard covenants including certain financial ratios that are reported to the lessors quarterly. As of March5, 2010, we were in compliance with all covenants. In the case of a default, the lessor may demand we purchase the buildings for an amount equal to the lease balance, or require that we remarket or relinquish the buildings. Both leases qualify for operating lease accounting treatment and, as such, the buildings and the related obligations are not included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We utilized this type of financing in order to access bank-provided funding at the most favorable rates and to provide the lowest total cost of occupancy for the headquarter buildings. At the end of the lease term, we can extend the lease for an additional five year term, purchase the buildings for the lease balance, remarket or relinquish the buildings. If we choose to remarket or are required to do so upon relinquishing the buildings, we are bound to arrange the sale of the buildings to an unrelated party and will be required to pay the lessor any shortfall between the net remark

Debt [Abstract]
DEBT	NOTE 16. DEBT Notes In February2010, we issued $600.0million of 3.25% senior notes due February1, 2015 (the 2015 Notes) and $900.0million of 4.75% senior notes due February1, 2020 (the 2020 Notes and, together with the 2015 Notes, the Notes). Our proceeds were approximately $1.494billion which is net of an issuance discount of $6.561million. The Notes rank equally with our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. In addition, we incurred issuance costs of approximately $10.7 million. Both the discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the Notes using the effective interest method. Interest is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on February 1 and August1, commencing on August1, 2010. The proceeds from this offering are available for general corporate purposes, including repayment of any balance outstanding on our credit facility. As of March5, 2010, the amount outstanding under the Notes was $1.494billion, which is included in long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on quoted market prices, the fair value of the Notes was approximately $1.502billion as of March5, 2010. We may redeem the Notes at any time, subject to a make whole premium. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, we may be required to repurchase the Notes, at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The Notes also include covenants that limit our ability to grant liens on assets and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, subject to significant allowances. As of March5, 2010, we were in compliance with all the covenants. Credit Agreement In August2007, we entered into an Amendment to our Credit Agreement dated February2007 (the Amendment), which increased the total senior unsecured revolving facility from $500.0million to $1.0billion. The Amendment also permits us to request one-year extensions effective on each anniversary of the closing date of the original agreement, subject to the majority consent of the lenders. We also retain an option to request an additional $500.0million in commitments, for a maximum aggregate facility of $1.5billion. In February2008, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated February 26, 2008, which extended the maturity date of the facility by one year to February16, 2013. The facility would terminate at this date if no additional extensions have been requested and granted. All other terms and conditions remain the same. The facility contains a financial covenant requiring us not to exceed a certain maximum leverage ratio. At our option, borrowings under the facility accrue interest based on either the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) for one, two, three or six months, or longer periods with bank consent, plus a margin according to a pricing grid tied to this financial covenant, or a base rate. The margin is set at rates between 0.20% and 0.475%. Commitment fees are payable on the facility at rates between 0.05% and 0.15% per year based on the same pricing grid. The facility is available

3_Summary of Significant Accoun

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
	3 Months Ended Mar. 05, 2010
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting	We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, we have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures we normally include in our annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In managements opinion, we have made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November27, 2009 on file with the SEC. Our first quarter fiscal 2010 financial results benefitted from an extra week in the quarter due to our 52/53week financial calendar whereby fiscal 2010 is a 53-week year compared with fiscal 2009 which was a 52-week year.
Significant Accounting Policies	With the exception of the adoption of an accounting pronouncement related to revenue recognition, discussed below, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November27, 2009.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements There have also been no new recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March5, 2010, with the exception of those discussed below, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November27, 2009, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us. Revenue Recognition In October2009, the FASB amended the accounting standards for certain multiple deliverable revenue arrangements to: provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated; require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using the best estimated selling price (BESP) of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of selling price or third-party evidence (TPE) of selling price; and eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. We elected to early adopt this accounting guidance at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2010 on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified after November27, 2009. Multiple Element Arrangements We enter into multiple element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a combination of software, upgrades, hosting services, maintenance and support, and consulting. For multiple element arrangements that contain non-software related elements, for example our software as a service (SaaS) offerings, we allocate revenue to each non-software element based upon the relative selling price of each and if software and software-related elements are also included in the arrangement, to those elements as a group based on our BESP for the group. When applying the relative selling price method, we determine the selling price for each deliverable using VSOE of selling price, if it exists, or TPE of selling price. If neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price exist for a deliverable, we use our BESP for that deliverable. Revenue allocated to each element is then recognized when the basic revenue recognition criteria is met for each element. The manner in which we account for multiple element arrangements that contain only software and software-related elements remains unchanged. Consistent with our methodology under previous accounting guidance, we determine VSOE of fair value for each element based on historical stand-alone sales to third-parties or from the stated renewal rate for the elements contained in the initial software license arrangement. In certain instances, we were not able to establish VSOE for all deliverables in an arrangement with multiple elements. This may be due to us infrequently selling each element separately, not pricing products or services within a narrow range, or only having a limited sales history. When VSOE cannot be established, we attempt to establish the selling price of each element based on TPE. TPE is determined based on
