At the time of license authentication for a PC software product, an inquiry about the license authentication date of an MFP software product included in a combined product is made to an MFP in which the MFP software is installed, and the license authentication date of the earlier date information is deemed as the start date of a maintenance contract. A license management method is provided in which if the PC software product is released within the term of the maintenance contract, the PC software product is made usable. |
