Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
(Operator instructions). One moment for the first question, and our first question is from Sasa Zorovic with Janney Montgomery. Go ahead, your line is open.
Sasa Zorovic -- Janney Montgomery
Yes, thank you. So we did a quarter that was characterized by very strong license revenue and really strong performance in Europe and America. Now why was Asia departed from that?
Neil Moses
Well, Sasa. It is Neil. You know I think actually this quarter was difficult for Asia and you know it is a little bit of a tale of two cities there. Quite frankly the second quarter was a little bit difficult also. Japan, as you know, has been challenging not only for PTC but for most technology companies for some time. So that is not really new news. I think in the Pac-Rim and in China specifically, we have seen performance has been down year over year in the last couple of quarters.
Again back to the Dick's discussion earlier about having the sales leadership in here the last couple of days, I think the folks that are in that region of the world actually feel pretty good about the fact that they think things have bottomed out there and are beginning to recover. But I think really in the last couple of quarters as we have seen in Europe, we have seen the lagging effect if you will of the recession that has been going on in North America for quite some time. But I think there is a feeling that the Pacific Rim marketplace is going to recover more quickly than the US did.
Sasa Zorovic -- Janney Montgomery
Thank you.
Operator
And our next question is from Greg Dunham with Deutsche Bank. Go ahead. Your line is open.
Greg Dunham -- Deutsche Bank
Yes, thank you. Wanted to hit on the domino account that you mentioned, it has been almost a year since the EADS deal (inaudible) could you give us a sense of the progress thus far revenue contribution or anything on roll out statistics to give us a sense of how that is going and how we can see some of these other accounts needs license revenue going forward?
Dick Harrison
Well, I'll take a shot at the non-revenue piece, Neil, you begin.
Neil Moses
Sure. I think we're making good progress. You know since that time we – Airbus subsequently committed to deploy Windchill on the A-350 program and that is well underway and doing well. We have started up a project, Eurocopter. There is a couple of other projects in the planning phases and some of the other business units, Astrium and so forth. So I think good solid progress. There is a plan around the A-400 which you know is a program at Airbus that is a little bit in limbo, and they're trying to figure out how to get that program restarted, not with PLM piece but the aircraft program itself. So I think we are making the kind of progress we would have expected. There was some upfront license revenue in that deal and then there was quite a bit of ongoing services revenue as we view the performance and I don't if anyone wants to add any color on that.
