Abstract:
An information processing apparatus is provided in in a hierarchical structure of at least three hierarchies, and communicates with another information processing apparatus that is present in the immediately above hierarchy in the hierarchical structure to determine whether a version of the software installed on the information processing apparatus matches a version of the software installed on the immediately above information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus also acquires setup information from the immediately above information processing apparatus upon determining that the software version installed on the information processing apparatus matches that of the software installed in the immediately above information processing apparatus.
