PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a software management system and the like capable of reducing burdens of a manager while securing the convenience of a user, and preventing the unauthorized use of a software. SOLUTION: When the client detects the start of the software, the client requests the permission of the start to a software management server. The software management server refers to a license database, and replies start codes ([permitted], [not permitted], [unregistered], and the like). The client starts the software in the case of the [permitted] start code, stops the start of the software in the case of the [not permitted] start code, and requests registration to the software management server in the case of the [unregistered] start code, so as to register the software with the license database.
