PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable commercially available application software to be used at a reasonable price only for the period of time during which it is necessary, thus solving the problem that it is expensive from the standpoint of the frequency with which it is used, while allowing its seller to increase the chances of selling. SOLUTION: This system comprises a server 1 and an integrated management tool 2, both of which are prepared by the seller of application software and connected to the Internet at all times; a management tool 4 installed in a user's computer 3; and the application software managed thereby. When necessary, service information is transmitted to the server 1 of the software seller through an Internet line 5 and the bill for using the software and licensing information or the like are sent back from the integrated management tool 2 of the server to the management tool 4 on the user's computer 3, whereby the user is billed for the time that the software was used. |
