There were no impairment charges for acquisition-related intangible assets during fiscal years 2019 and 2018. During fiscal year 2017, we determined that the carrying value of one of our acquisition-related intangible assets was not recoverable. The acquisition-related intangible asset was measured using Level 3 inputs and was written down to a fair value of zero. We recognized an impairment charge of $15 million in cost of product revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Finite-lived acquisition-related intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the agreement terms, currently from 1 to 9 years. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the weighted-average remaining useful life for acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately 3.2 years and 4.3 years, respectively.
As of March 31, 2019, future amortization of finite-lived acquisition-related intangibles that will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is estimated as follows (in millions):
