A software distribution system includes a software distribution server that distributes software; an image processing apparatus; an information processing apparatus; and an activation server that performs license authentication for software installed on the image processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a selection receiving unit that receives designation of software as software to be installed on the image processing apparatus; and a distribution-request transmitting unit that transmits a request for distribution of the designation-received software to the software distribution server. The image processing apparatus includes a download control unit that downloads the designation-received software from the software distribution server; an installation control unit that performs installation of the downloaded software; and an activation control unit that performs, concurrently with the installation of the downloaded software, activation of the downloaded software to place the downloaded software in an enabled state under the license authenticated by the activation server.
