has priority over a conflicting security interest in the same
collateral, and, except as otherwise provided in Section 1-9-327 of
this title, a perfected security interest in its identifiable
proceeds also has priority, to the extent that the purchase-money
security interest in the goods in which the software was acquired
for use has priority in the goods and proceeds of the goods under
