Abstract:
A device management module acquires the configuration information from the image forming apparatus and acquires product information of a product that corresponds to the image forming apparatus. The device management module determines whether the condition for validating the application that corresponds to the above-described product in the image forming apparatus is satisfied based on the acquired configuration information and the acquired product information. If the condition is satisfied, the device management module transmits license issuance request information to the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus transmits a license issuance request to the device management module to acquire a license and validates the application based on the acquired license.
