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") provides enterprise software products for the development, deployment and management of responsible, AI-powered applications and experiences. 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 independent software vendors, original equipment manufacturers, distributors and value-added resellers. Independent software vendors develop and market applications using our technology and resell our products in conjunction with sales of their own products that incorporate our technology. Original equipment manufacturers 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, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), and Asia and Australia ("Asia Pacific"), 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the financial statements 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, 2023, as filed with the SEC on January 26, 2024 (our "2023 Annual Report"). We made no material changes in the application of our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our 2023 Annual Report, 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 revenue recognition, loss contingencies and the MOVEit Vulnerability, and business combinations. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The amendments in this update expand segment disclosure requirements, including new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment among other disclosure requirements. This update is effective for the Company in the consolidated financial statements for the year ending November 30, 2025, and interim periods beginning after December 1, 2025. The adoption of this standard only impacts disclosures and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company beginning with the annual period ending November 30, 2026, allowing for adoption on a prospective basis or a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard only impacts disclosures and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. This rule will require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. The disclosure requirements will apply to the Company's fiscal year beginning December 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the final rule to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
