Software refers to all the information (or state) which directs the action of a computer's hardware. It may include the CPU's microcode (even though that may be permanently recorded in a PROM), all the program binary stored in main memory, program binary stored in secondary storage, etc.
The term also includes the source code from which all that binary was derived, etc.
