    摘要: An image forming apparatus in which programs for controlling processes that are provided by the image forming apparatus are installed. The image forming apparatus includes means for managing the use amount of each program by use of a counter, means for recognizing the counter which corresponds to the identification information of the program and can manage the use amount of the program, means for correlating the program with the counter recognized by the recognizing means to manage the counter, means which can set an upper limit on the use amount of each program for the use amount managing means, and means for controlling the process by the image forming apparatus based on the upper limit of the use amount set by the setting means for each of the types of the programs.

    摘要: A management method is disclosed for managing license information indicating an allowed amount of usage of a program executable on a peripheral device or a function provided by the peripheral device. The method includes the steps of acquiring, from the outside, license identification information for identifying license information, and license information indicating an amount of a change in right of usage of the program, managing license identification information corresponding to license information that has already been installed, determining whether license identification information corresponding to license information is included in license identification information managed in the management step, and performing operation such that if it is determined in the determination step that the license identification information corresponding to the license information is included in the license identification information managed in the management step, changing the value of the already installed right of usage of the program by an amount equal to a change in the right of usage of the program.
