You have to depreciate permanent licenses as if they're any other durable good. With SAAS you can just write the whole thing off as a service. They get you to the same place, but SAAS does it with significantly less fuss.

Isn't this made up for by SaaS being cheaper (at least initially) than permanent licenses? eg. office 365 personal (SaaS) is $70/year, but office 2019 (perpetual) is $250 one time. I'm not sure what the "fuss" is.
