Abstract:
A multifunction peripheral is disclosed as an example of an image forming apparatus. The multifunction peripheral determines whether a license corresponding to a license identifier is present inside the image forming apparatus through a license management unit based on the license identifier corresponding to input license information. If the license is present inside the image forming apparatus, the license management unit as an example of the history determination unit determines whether there is any installation history of the license whose presence has been determined, on the image forming apparatus.
