<p>According to one embodiment, a server apparatus includes a license memory, a license setting module, an information memory, an acquiring module, a determining module and a controller. The license memory selectively stores a license code provided by a license issuing module. The license setting module sets the corresponding function or the corresponding hardware circuit to be usable/unusable based on the license code stored in the license memory. The information memory stores information of at least a part of the license code. The acquiring module acquires the license code corresponding to the function or the hardware circuit to be changed by communication with the license issuing module. The determining module determines whether or not the license code acquired by the acquiring module is valid by comparing the license code with the information stored in the information memory. The controller stores the valid license code in the license memory.</p> |
