I bought two AS/400 model 400s, one with V3R6, the other with V3R7. One now runs V4R5 and the other V5R1. I have no clear idea how to calculate the relative values had the software never been upgraded but simply allowed to "depreciate" -- assuming it's possible. I suspect the term doesn't apply to software, but it's a pure guess. I'd expect it to be some kind of an amortized expense more likely, but even that seems improbable.
