[The present invention] improves the user-friendliness of a software distribution management system that uses representative clients. The computer system according to the present invention comprises a plurality of clients, a server computer that includes software to be distributed to one or more of the plurality of the clients, and a network for coupling the server computer to the plurality of client computers. Based on information from the plurality of clients, the server computer classifies the plurality of clients into a plurality of groups, selects a representative client for each group, and executes distribution of the software to the representative clients. The representative clients that have received the software distribution distribute the software to the other clients belonging to the same group. The server computer outputs management display information to a management screen on the basis of software distribution management information. Note that the distribution of software from the server computer to the representative clients may also be performed in advance.
