Information processing apparatus and control method thereof

摘要

An application to be installed is acquired. Security policy geographic information, which is geographic information of an application's target distribution area where a user permits installation, is acquired from security policy that defines processing regarding the application. Application geographic information, which is geographic information of an application's target distribution area, is acquired from the acquired application.
