Other assets consist primarily of acquired identifiable intangible assets and capitalized purchased software costs. Acquired identifiable intangible assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

Customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 10 to 14 years. Capitalized purchased software costs are amortized straight-line over the estimated useful life of the related software, which ranges from 2 to 10 years. Technology licenses are being amortized over their estimated useful lives in proportion to the economic benefits consumed. During 2015, 2014 and 2013, $0.9 million, $1.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of purchased software costs were capitalized. During 2015, in connection with the Secure Acquisition, the Company acquired trade names and trademarks that have been determined to have an indefinite life. Amortization of intangible assets with definite lives for 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $6.3 million, $5.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

The estimated future amortization expense of acquired intangible assets for each of the next five years is as follows (in thousands):

Year ending December 31,		Amount
2016	$	12,951
2017		10,661
2018		9,764
2019		9,695
