The orders comprise a mix of subscription and perpetual licences, Support & Maintenance renewals, professional services and development activity across the Group’s core government, defence, aerospace and enterprise markets.  These orders include:

         a subscription licence order, including Support & Maintenance and additional recurring licences, for an existing US Federal Government deployment, totalling approximately £0.42 million;
