Some words are used as same in plural form.

ex: information, data etc.

like this, the word "software" can be used ? (what is the plural form of software )

Not sure about "software". I, being an ignorant, would probably use it as an adjective, in order to avoid such problems: software updates, software improvements...

Information is an uncountable noun.
Software is an uncountable noun.

Only if you want to be pedantic and show off. Its Latin origins notwithstanding, the word data has evolved in the English language.* It's uncountable and takes a singular verb.



*similarly to the word media, although media can be used as singular or plural
