An NE configuration information collecting unit (201) collects, from a network device (31), a usage status of each function serving as a license management target. A license billing calculation unit (102) generates billing information for the network device (31) in accordance with a comparison between a latest usage status of each function of the licensee device acquired by the NE configuration information collecting unit (201) and a usage status of each function of the licensee device previously acquired by the NE configuration information collecting unit (201). Thus, the present invention can provide a license management system, a license management apparatus, a license management method, and a program which are capable of performing license management while accurately comprehending changes in a license usage status of each device. |
