Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Company Overview - Progress Software Corporation ("Progress," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") offers the leading platform for developing and deploying strategic business applications. We enable customers and partners to deliver modern, high-impact digital experiences with a fraction of the effort, time and cost. Progress offers powerful tools for easily building adaptive user experiences across any type of device or touchpoint, the flexibility of a cloud-native app dev platform to deliver modern apps, leading data connectivity technology, web content management, business rules, secure file transfer and network monitoring. Over 1,700 independent software vendors ("ISVs"), 100,000 enterprise customers, and 2 million developers rely on Progress to power their applications. Our products are generally sold as perpetual licenses, but certain products also use term licensing models and our cloud-based offerings use a subscription-based model. More than half of our worldwide license revenue is realized through relationships with indirect channel partners, principally application partners, original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), distributors and value-added resellers. Application partners are ISVs that develop and market applications using our technology and resell our products in conjunction with sales of their own products that incorporate our technology. OEMs are companies that embed our products into their own software products or devices. Value-added resellers are companies that add features or services to our product, then resell it as an integrated product or complete "turn-key" solution. We operate in North America and Latin America (the "Americas"); Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"); and the Asia Pacific region, through local subsidiaries as well as independent distributors. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements and these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 ("Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 "). We made no material changes in the application of our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 . We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 , and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and records changes in estimates in the period in which they become known. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates relate to: the timing and amount of revenue recognition, including the determination of the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, the standalone selling price of performance obligations, and the transaction price allocated to performance obligations; the realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities; fair values of investments in marketable securities; assets held for sale; intangible assets and goodwill valuations; the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities; the collectability of accounts receivable; and assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"). ASU 2017-12 intends to better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. We adopted this standard at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2020; however, our existing accounting aligned with the guidance of ASU 2017-12 and therefore there was no impact to our financial statements from adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"). ASC 842 supersedes the requirements in Topic 840, Leases , and requires lessees to recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted ASC 842 effective December 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method of applying the new standard at the adoption date. Results for reporting periods beginning on or after December 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance. Disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before December 1, 2019. The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the transition package of practical expedients available in the standard, which allowed the carry forward of historical assessments of whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs. We also elected the practical expedient provided in ASC 842 to not separate lease components from non-lease components for each material underlying asset class: office leases, vehicle leases and equipment leases. For each lease, the non-lease components and related lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. Items or activities that do not transfer goods or services to the lessee, such as administrative tasks to set up the contract and reimbursement or payment of lessor costs, are not components of the contract and therefore no contract consideration is allocated to such items or activities. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. The adoption of the new standard also resulted in significant additional disclosures regarding our leasing activities. Refer to Note 8 for further details. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"). ASU 2018-15 amends current guidance to align the accounting for costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Capitalized implementation costs must be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement and presented in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement. The guidance in ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently accounting for costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement in accordance with the guidance provided in ASU 2018-15. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 amends Topic 350 to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This update requires the performance of an annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance in ASU 2017-04 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, we do not expect this update to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU 2016-13"). The amendment changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Entities will be required to use a model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses for trade and other receivables, contract assets, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans, and other instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments Cash Flow Hedge On July 9, 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap contract with an initial notional amount of $150.0 million to manage the variability of cash flows associated with approximately one-half of our variable rate debt. The contract matures on April 30, 2024 and requires periodic interest rate settlements. Under this interest rate swap contract, we receive a floating rate based on the greater of 1-month LIBOR or 0.00% and pay a fixed rate of 1.855% on the outstanding notional amount. We have designated the interes t rate swap as a cash flow hedge and assess the hedge effectiveness both at the onset of the hedge and at regular intervals throughout the life of the derivative. To the extent that the interest rate swap is highly effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair value of the derivative are included as a component of other comprehensive loss on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although we have determined at the onset of the hedge that the interest rate swap will be a highly effective hedge throughout the term of the contract, any portion of the fair value swap subsequently determined to be ineffective will be recognized in earnings. As of February 29, 2020 , the fair value of the hedge was a loss of $4.9 million and was included in other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents our interest rate swap contract where the notional amount reflects the quarterly amortization of the interest rate swap, which is equal to approximately one-half of the corresponding reduction in the balance of our term loan as we make our scheduled principal payments. The fair value of the derivative represents the discounted value of the expected future discounted cash flows for the interest rate swap, based on the amortization schedule and the current forward curve for the remaining term of the contract, as of the date of each reporting period (in thousands): February 29, 2020 November 30, 2019 Notional Value Fair Value Notional Value Fair Value Interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges $ 147,188 $ (4,868 ) $ 148,125 $ (2,054 ) Forward Contracts We generally use forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to hedge economically the impact of the variability in exchange rates on intercompany accounts receivable and loans receivable denominated in certain foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge the net assets of our international subsidiaries. All forward contracts are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets at the end of each reporting period and expire between 30 days and two years from the date the contract was entered.

When available, we use quoted market prices to measure fair value. The valuation technique used to measure fair value for our Level 1 and Level 2 assets is a market approach, using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market-based parameters including yield curves, volatilities, credit ratings and currency rates. In certain cases where market rate assumptions are not available, we are required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, certain assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Based on the fair value measurement, we recorded a $22.7 million asset impairment charge, which was attributable to the intangible assets primarily associated with the technologies and trade names obtained in the acquisitions of DataRPM and Kinvey during the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2017, respectively. The following table presents nonrecurring fair value measurements as of November 30, 2019 (in thousands): Total Fair Value Total Losses Intangible assets $ — $ 22,688 The fair value measurements of intangible assets and long-lived assets were determined using an income-based valuation methodology, which incorporates unobservable inputs, including discounted expected cash flows over the remaining estimated useful life of the technology, thereby classifying the fair value as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The expected cash flows include maintenance fees to be collected from existing customers using the products, offset by compensation related costs and hosting fees to be incurred over the remaining estimated useful lives. We did not have any nonrecurring fair value measurements as of February 29, 2020 .

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, we evaluated the ongoing value of the intangible assets associated with the technology obtained in connection with the acquisitions of DataRPM and Kinvey. As a result of our decision to reduce our current and ongoing spending levels within our cognitive application product lines, which consist primarily of our DataRPM and Kinvey products, we determined that the intangible assets were fully impaired and incurred an impairment charge of $22.7 million (Note 4).

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combinations	Business Combinations Ipswitch Acquisition On April 30, 2019, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of Ipswitch, Inc. (“Ipswitch”) from Roger Greene (the “Seller”) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2019, by and among Progress, Ipswitch and the Seller. The acquisition was completed for an aggregate purchase price of $225.0 million , subject to certain customary adjustments as further described in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Consideration”), which was paid in cash. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, $22.5 million of the Consideration was deposited into an escrow account to secure certain indemnification and other potential obligations of the Seller to Progress. The Seller also received an award of approximately $2.0 million in Progress restricted stock as consideration for the Seller entering into a non-competition agreement for three years as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Ipswitch enables approximately 24,000 small and medium-sized businesses and enterprises to provide secure data sharing and ensure high-performance infrastructure availability. Through this acquisition, we bolstered our core offerings to small and medium-sized businesses and enterprises, enabling those businesses to respond faster to business demands and to improve productivity. We funded the acquisition through a combination of existing cash resources and a $185.0 million term loan, which is part of a new $401.0 million term loan and revolving credit facility (Note 7). The consideration has been allocated to Ipswitch’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The preliminary fair value estimates of the net assets acquired are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and those estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for those estimates during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The excess of the total consideration over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. We recorded measurement period adjustments based on our ongoing valuation and purchase price allocation procedures. We are still finalizing the valuation and purchase price allocation as it relates to the net working capital amount in the table below. The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands): Initial Purchase Price Allocation Measurement Period Adjustments Adjusted Purchase Price Allocation Life Net working capital $ 6,068 $ (216 ) $ 5,852 Property, plant and equipment 4,661 4,661 Purchased technology 33,100 33,100 5 Years Trade name 9,600 9,600 5 Years Customer relationships 66,600 66,600 5 Years Other assets 314 (4 ) 310 Deferred revenue (12,696 ) (12,696 ) Goodwill 117,651 220 117,871 Net assets acquired $ 225,298 $ — $ 225,298 The fair value of the intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates used to value the acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The valuation assumptions take into consideration the Company's estimates of customer attrition, technology obsolescence, and revenue growth projections. Based on the preliminary valuation, the acquired intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships of approximately $66.6 million , existing technology of approximately $33.1 million , and trade names of approximately $9.6 million . Tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities were recorded at fair value. The valuation of the assumed deferred revenue was based on our contractual commitment to provide post-contract customer support to Ipswitch customers and future contractual performance obligations under existing hosting arrangements. The fair value of this assumed liability was based on the estimated cost plus a reasonable margin to fulfill these service obligations. A significant portion of the deferred revenue is expected to be recognized in the 12 months following the acquisition. We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $117.9 million of goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes. An election was made under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code to treat the transaction as the sale of all of Ipswitch's assets on the acquisition date. As a result, the identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are deductible for tax purposes. As previously noted, the Seller received a restricted stock award of approximately $2.0 million , subject to continued compliance with the three-year non-compete agreement. We concluded that the restricted stock award is not a compensation arrangement and we recorded the fair value of the award as an intangible asset separate from goodwill. We will recognize intangible asset amortization expense over the term of the agreement, which is 3 years . We recorded $0.2 million of amortization expense related to this restricted stock award for the three months ended February 29, 2020 in operating expenses on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) and certain acquisition restructuring and related charges are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred. During the three months ended February 29, 2020, we incurred approximately $0.3 million of acquisition-related costs, which are included in acquisition-related expenses on our consolidated statement of operations. The operations of Ipswitch are included in our operating results as part of the OpenEdge segment from the date of acquisition. The amount of revenue of Ipswitch included in our consolidated statement of operations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 was approximately $15.2 million . We determined that disclosing the amount of Ipswitch related earnings included in the consolidated statements of operations is impracticable, as certain operations of Ipswitch were integrated into the operations of the Company from the date of acquisition. Pro Forma Information The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Progress and Ipswitch as if the acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2017 after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the Ipswitch acquisition and factually supportable. These pro forma adjustments include (i) a decrease in revenue from Ipswitch due to the beginning balance of deferred revenue being adjusted to reflect the fair value of the acquired balance, (ii) a net increase in amortization expense to record amortization expense for the $111.3 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets and to eliminate historical amortization of Ipswitch intangible assets, (iii) an increase in interest expense to record interest for the period presented as a result of the new credit facility entered into by Progress in connection with the acquisition, and (iv) the income tax effect of the adjustments made at the statutory tax rate of the U.S. (approximately 24.5% ). In addition, prior to the acquisition Ipswitch did not pay entity level corporate tax, with the exception of some states, because it was registered as an S-Corporation. Therefore, we applied the statutory tax rate of the U.S. (approximately 24.5% ) to the income before tax of Ipswitch as if the acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2017. The pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated expense savings resulting from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred had the transaction been consummated on December 1, 2017. These results are prepared in accordance with ASC 606.

Term Loan and Line of Credit

Line of Credit Facility [Abstract]
Term Loan and Line of Credit	Term Loan and Line of Credit On April 30, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with certain lenders (the "Lenders"), which provides for a $301.0 million secured term loan and a $100.0 million secured revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility may be made available in U.S. Dollars and certain other currencies and may be increased by up to an additional $125.0 million if the existing or additional lenders are willing to make such increased commitments. The revolving credit facility has sub-limits for swing line loans up to $25.0 million and for the issuance of standby letters of credit in a face amount up to $25.0 million. The Credit Agreement modified our prior credit facility by extending the maturity date to April 30, 2024 and extending the principal repayments of the term loan. We borrowed an additional $185.0 million under the term loan as part of this modification. The new term loan was used to partially fund our acquisition of Ipswitch (Note 6) and we expect to use the revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions of other businesses, and may also use it for working capital. Interest rates for the term loan and revolving credit facility are based upon our leverage ratio and determined based on an index selected at our option. The rates range from 1.50% to 2.00% above the Eurocurrency rate for Eurocurrency-based borrowings or from 0.50% to 1.00% above the defined base rate for base rate borrowings. Additionally, we may borrow certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same respective range above the London interbank offered interest rates for those currencies. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility is required and ranges from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum based on our leverage ratio. The interest rate as of February 29, 2020 was 3.31% . The credit facility matures on April 30, 2024 , when all amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full. The revolving credit facility does not require amortization of principal. The outstanding balance of the term loan as of February 29, 2020 was $295.4 million, with $13.2 million due in the next 12 months. The term loan requires repayment of principal at the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2020 . The principal repayment amounts are in accordance with the following schedule: (i) four payments of $1.9 million each, (ii) four payments of $3.8 million each, (iii) four payments of $5.6 million each, (iv) four payments of $7.5 million each, (v) three payments of $9.4 million each, and (vi) the last payment is of the remaining principal amount. Any amounts outstanding under the term loan thereafter would be due on the maturity date. The term loan may be prepaid before maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty or premium. As of February 29, 2020 , the carrying value of the term loan approximates the fair value, based on Level 2 inputs (observable market prices in less than active markets), as the interest rate is variable over the selected interest period and is similar to current rates at which we can borrow funds. Costs incurred to obtain our long-term debt of $1.6 million, along with $1.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the previous credit agreement, are recorded as debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of February 29, 2020 . These costs are being amortized over the term of the debt agreement using the effective interest rate method. Amortization expense related to the debt issuance costs of $ 0.1 million for the three months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019 is recorded in interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed until April 30, 2024 , at which time all amounts outstanding must be repaid. Accrued interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to base rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period (or at each three-month interval in the case of loans with interest periods greater than three months) with respect to Eurocurrency rate loans. We may prepay the loans or terminate or reduce the commitments in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions and reimbursement of certain costs in the case of Eurocurrency rate loans. As of February 29, 2020 , there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line and $1.8 million of letters of credit. We are the sole borrower under the credit facility. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets and each of our material domestic subsidiaries, as well as 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries, in each case, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Credit Agreement. Future material domestic subsidiaries will be required to guaranty our obligations under the Credit Agreement, and to grant security interests in substantially all of their assets to secure such obligations. The Credit Agreement generally prohibits, with certain exceptions, any other liens on our assets, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our ability to, among other things, grant liens, make investments, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, change the nature of the business, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and enter into burdensome agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. We are also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a consolidated total leverage ratio and a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio. As of February 29, 2020 , aggregate principal payments of long-term debt for the next five years are (in thousands): Remainder of 2020 $ 9,406 2021 18,813 2022 26,338 2023 33,863 2024 206,938 Total $ 295,358

Leases [Abstract]
Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block]	Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the guidance on December 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method and as a result did not adjust comparative periods or modify disclosures in those comparative periods. The new guidance provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the package of practical expedients, which does not require the reassessment of prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Further, the Company elected the practical expedients to combine lease and non-lease components. Contracts may be comprised of lease components, non-lease components, and elements that are not components. Each lease component represents a lessee’s right to use an underlying asset in the contract if the lessee can benefit from the right-of-use of the asset either on its own or together with other readily available resources and if the right-of-use is neither highly dependent or highly interrelated with other rights-of-use. Non-lease components include items such as common area maintenance and utilities provided by the lessor. We also elected the practical expedient to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are classified as short-term leases. Consideration in the contract is comprised of any fixed payments and variable payments that depend on an index or rate. Payments in the Company's operating lease arrangements primarily consist of base office rent. In accordance with the standard, variable payments in an agreement that are not dependent on an index or rate are excluded from the calculation of ROU assets and lease liabilities. The Company makes variable payments on certain of its leases related to taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and utilities, among other things. The adoption of ASC 842 on December 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of operating lease ROU assets of approximately $28.9 million and operating lease liabilities of approximately $29.9 million . The difference between the value of the ROU assets and lease liabilities is due to the reclassification of existing deferred rent, prepaid rent, and unamortized lease incentives as of December 1, 2019. Operating leases are included in ROU assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities are to be presented separately for operating and finance leases; however, the Company currently has no material finance leases. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations, consolidated statement of stockholders' equity, consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) or consolidated statement of cash flows. The new standard also had no impact on liquidity or the Company’s debt-covenant compliance under its current debt agreements. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the duration of the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s contractual obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are recorded and recognized at commencement for the lease liability amount, plus initial direct costs incurred less lease incentives received. Lease liabilities are recorded at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term at commencement. Operating leases liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in the lease contracts is not readily determinable. As such, we utilize the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Lease expenses relating to operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has operating leases for administrative, product development, and sales and marketing facilities, vehicles, and equipment under various non-cancelable lease agreements. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 year to 10 years. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease where it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. The Company considers several economic factors when making this determination, including but not limited to, the significance of leasehold improvements incurred in the office space, the difficulty in replacing the asset, underlying contractual obligations, or specific characteristics unique to a particular lease. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The components of operating lease cost for the three months ended February 29, 2020 were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended February 29, 2020 Lease costs under long-term operating leases $ 1,958 Lease costs under short-term operating leases 45 Variable lease cost under short-term and long-term operating leases (1) 106 Operating lease right-of-use asset impairment 923 Total operating lease cost $ 3,032 (1) Lease costs that are not fixed at lease commencement.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation	3 Months Ended

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards, less the present value of expected dividends when applicable, measured at the grant date and recognized over the relevant service period. We estimate the fair value of each stock-based award on the measurement date using the current market price of the stock, the Black-Scholes option valuation model, or the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model. During the first quarter of fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, we granted performance-based restricted stock units that include two performance metrics under a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) where the performance measurement period is three years. Vesting of the LTIP awards is as follows: (i) 50% is based on our level of attainment of specified total stockholder return ("TSR") targets relative to the percentage appreciation of a specified index of companies for the respective three-year periods, and (ii) 50% is based on achievement of a three -year cumulative performance condition (operating income). In order to estimate the fair value of such awards, we used a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model for the market condition portion of the award, and used the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, less the present value of expected dividends when applicable, for the portion related to the performance condition. The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to options and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally 4 years for options and 3 years for restricted stock units. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to our employee stock purchase plan using an accelerated attribution method. The following table provides the classification of stock-based compensation as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands): Three Months Ended February 29, February 28, Cost of maintenance and services $ 319 $ 244 Sales and marketing 1,050 1,048 Product development 1,926 1,928 General and administrative 2,756 2,586 Total stock-based compensation $ 6,051 $ 5,806

Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Contract Balances Unbilled Receivables and Contract Assets The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of customer invoicing. When revenue is recognized prior to invoicing and the right to the amount due from customers is conditioned only on the passage of time, we record an unbilled receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. Our multi-year term license arrangements, which are typically billed annually, result in revenue recognition in advance of invoicing and the recognition of unbilled receivables. As of February 29, 2020 , invoicing of our long-term unbilled receivables is expected to occur as follows (in thousands): 2021 $ 10,882 2022 1,729 2023 181 Total $ 12,792 Contract assets, which arise when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing and the right to the amount due from customers is conditioned on something other than the passage of time, such as the completion of a related performance obligation, were $0.4 million and $4.0 million as of February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019, respectively. These amounts are included in unbilled receivables or long-term unbilled receivables on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue is recorded when revenue is recognized subsequent to customer invoicing. Our deferred revenue balance is primarily made up of deferred maintenance from our OpenEdge and Application Development and Deployment segments. As of February 29, 2020 , the changes in deferred revenue were as follows (in thousands): Balance, December 1, 2019 $ 177,246 Billings and other 113,235 Revenue recognized (109,683 ) Balance, February 29, 2020 $ 180,798 Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. As of February 29, 2020 , transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $190 million . We expect to recognize approximately 88% of the revenue within the next year and the remainder thereafter. Deferred Contract Costs Deferred contract costs, which include certain sales incentive programs, are incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are recognized as an asset if the expected benefit of those costs is longer than one year. We have applied the practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs include a large majority of our sales incentive programs as we have determined that annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities. Certain of our sales incentive programs do meet the requirements to be capitalized. Depending upon the sales incentive program and the related revenue arrangement, such capitalized costs are amortized over the longer of (i) the product life, which is generally three to five years ; or (ii) the term of the related revenue contract. We determined that a three to five year product life represents the period of benefit that we receive from these incremental costs based on both qualitative and quantitative factors, which include customer contracts, industry norms, and product upgrades. Total deferred contract costs were $1.3 million and $1.7 million as of February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019 , respectively, and are included in other current assets and other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred contract costs is included in sales and marketing expense on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and was minimal in all periods presented.

Restructuring Charges [Abstract]
Restructuring charges	Restructuring Charges The following table provides a summary of activity for our restructuring actions, which are detailed further below (in thousands): Excess Facilities and Other Costs Employee Severance and Related Benefits Total Balance, December 1, 2019 $ 196 $ 2,007 $ 2,203 Costs incurred 1,010 30 1,040 Cash disbursements (160 ) (1,269 ) (1,429 ) Translation adjustments and other (24 ) — (24 ) Balance, February 29, 2020 $ 1,022 $ 768 $ 1,790 During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, we announced the reduction of our ongoing spending level within our cognitive application product lines, which consist primarily of our DataRPM and Kinvey products. This restructuring resulted in a reduction in positions primarily within the product development function. In connection with this restructuring action, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, we evaluated the ongoing value of the intangible assets primarily associated with the technologies and trade names obtained in the acquisitions of DataRPM and Kinvey. As a result, we wrote down these assets to fair value, which resulted in a $22.7 million asset impairment charge (Note 4). Restructuring expenses are related to employee costs, including severance, health benefits and outplacement services (but excluding stock-based compensation). For the three months ended February 29, 2020 , we incurred minimal expenses relating to this restructuring. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. A summary of activity for this restructuring action is as follows (in thousands): Excess Employee Severance and Related Benefits Total Balance, December 1, 2019 $ — $ 1,460 $ 1,460 Costs incurred — (9 ) (9 ) Cash disbursements — (844 ) (844 ) Translation adjustments and other — — — Balance, February 29, 2020 $ — $ 607 $ 607 Cash disbursements for expenses incurred to date under this restructuring are expected to be made through fiscal year 2020. Accordingly, the balance of the restructuring reserve of $0.6 million is included in other accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 29, 2020 . We do not expect to incur additional material costs with respect to this restructuring. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, we restructured our operations in connection with the acquisition of Ipswitch (Note 6). This restructuring resulted in a reduction in redundant positions, primarily within administrative functions of Ipswitch. We expect to incur additional expenses as part of this action related to employee costs and facility closures as we consolidate offices in various locations during fiscal year 2020, but we do not expect these costs to be material. For the three months ended February 29, 2020 , we incurred expenses of $1.0 million relating to this restructuring. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and include charges for the impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets of $0.9 million (Note 8). A summary of activity for this restructuring action is as follows (in thousands): Excess Employee Severance and Related Benefits Total Balance, December 1, 2019 $ 5 $ 547 $ 552 Costs incurred 997 39 1,036 Cash disbursements (123 ) (424 ) (547 ) Translation adjustments and other (24 ) — (24 ) Balance, February 29, 2020 $ 855 $ 162 $ 1,017 Cash disbursements for expenses incurred to date under this restructuring are expected to be made through fiscal year 2020. Accordingly, the balance of the restructuring reserve of $1.0 million is included in current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 29, 2020 , with $0.8 million included in short-term operating lease liabilities and $0.2 million included in other accrued liabilities.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Our income tax provision for the three months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019 reflects our estimate of the effective tax rates expected to be applicable for the full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period they occur. The estimates are reevaluated each quarter based on our estimated tax expense for the full fiscal year. Our effective tax rate was 23% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 compared to 30% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective rate as compared to the prior period is that during the preparation of our financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2019, we identified an error in our income tax provisions for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2019 related to the tax treatment of an intercompany sale of intellectual property that occurred in fiscal year 2018. As a result of the error, income tax expense was overstated by $1.1 million and $2.5 million during the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2019, respectively. We determined that the error was not material to the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2019 and corrected the error by recording an out of period $3.6 million tax benefit in our financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2019. If the error had not occurred, the effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 would have been 22% . Our Federal income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2016. Our state income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2013. Tax authorities for certain non-U.S. jurisdictions are also examining returns. With some exceptions, we are generally not subject to tax examinations in non-U.S. jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal year 2013.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments and International Operations	Business Segments and International Operations Operating segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. We operate as three distinct business segments: OpenEdge, Data Connectivity and Integration, and Application Development and Deployment. We do not manage our assets or capital expenditures by segment or assign other income (expense) and income taxes to segments. We manage and report such items on a consolidated company basis. The following table provides revenue and contribution margin from our reportable segments and reconciles to the consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes: Three Months Ended (In thousands) February 29, February 28, Segment revenue: OpenEdge $ 77,079 $ 65,252 Data Connectivity and Integration 13,685 6,000 Application Development and Deployment 18,919 18,297 Total revenue 109,683 89,549 Segment costs of revenue and operating expenses: OpenEdge 19,750 18,315 Data Connectivity and Integration 2,680 1,500 Application Development and Deployment 7,288 5,427 Total costs of revenue and operating expenses 29,718 25,242 Segment contribution margin: OpenEdge 57,329 46,937 Data Connectivity and Integration 11,005 4,500 Application Development and Deployment 11,631 12,870 Total contribution margin 79,965 64,307 Other unallocated expenses (1) 49,253 48,898 Income from operations 30,712 15,409 Other expense, net (3,397 ) (2,003 ) Income before income taxes $ 27,315 $ 13,406 (1) The following expenses are not allocated to our segments as we manage and report our business in these functional areas on a consolidated basis only: certain product development and corporate sales and marketing expenses, customer support, administration, amortization of acquired intangibles, stock-based compensation, restructuring, and acquisition-related expenses. Our revenues are derived from licensing our products, and from related services, which consist of maintenance, hosting services, and consulting and education.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements and these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 ("Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 "). We made no material changes in the application of our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 . We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 , and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and records changes in estimates in the period in which they become known. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates relate to: the timing and amount of revenue recognition, including the determination of the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, the standalone selling price of performance obligations, and the transaction price allocated to performance obligations; the realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities; fair values of investments in marketable securities; assets held for sale; intangible assets and goodwill valuations; the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities; the collectability of accounts receivable; and assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"). ASU 2017-12 intends to better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. We adopted this standard at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2020; however, our existing accounting aligned with the guidance of ASU 2017-12 and therefore there was no impact to our financial statements from adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"). ASC 842 supersedes the requirements in Topic 840, Leases , and requires lessees to recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted ASC 842 effective December 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method of applying the new standard at the adoption date. Results for reporting periods beginning on or after December 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance. Disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before December 1, 2019. The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the transition package of practical expedients available in the standard, which allowed the carry forward of historical assessments of whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs. We also elected the practical expedient provided in ASC 842 to not separate lease components from non-lease components for each material underlying asset class: office leases, vehicle leases and equipment leases. For each lease, the non-lease components and related lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. Items or activities that do not transfer goods or services to the lessee, such as administrative tasks to set up the contract and reimbursement or payment of lessor costs, are not components of the contract and therefore no contract consideration is allocated to such items or activities. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. The adoption of the new standard also resulted in significant additional disclosures regarding our leasing activities. Refer to Note 8 for further details. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"). ASU 2018-15 amends current guidance to align the accounting for costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Capitalized implementation costs must be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement and presented in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement. The guidance in ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently accounting for costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement in accordance with the guidance provided in ASU 2018-15. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 amends Topic 350 to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This update requires the performance of an annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance in ASU 2017-04 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, we do not expect this update to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU 2016-13"). The amendment changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Entities will be required to use a model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses for trade and other receivables, contract assets, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans, and other instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.
