1.   We note your response to Comment 1 of our November 17 letter. The Company has disclosed in Footnote A [7] on page F-9 and in corresponding language in its Critical Accounting Policies that it uses stated renewal rates to establish VSOE. However, your response indicates that you use separate sales to establish VSOE. Please modify your disclosure to more accurately disclose how you establish VSOE, both in the footnote and in the corresponding language in your Critical Accounting Policies.
In response to the staff’s comment, we have revised our disclosure of our practices with respect to establishing VSOE both in footnote A[7] and in the corresponding language in our Critical Accounting Policies.
