Hi tkc,
I do. But I am not using deferred.
They supply total quarterly license sales, as well as Dell and Safend forthe quarter.
You can calculate the income from the major order announcements (and check them against the financial statements). Anyone can accrue revenue rateably as well as GF can (although unlike GF i use quarters rather than days as I don't need to be quite as exact as he is).
So all you need to do is deduct the old junk from the license sales figure and you have a dirty figure for new sales. (I say dirty because there are some smaller scale ongoing projects).
Et voila. Signs of growth revealed.
