A software program providing system in which a predetermined limitation can be established for its access, thus allowing charge of a fee corresponding to the amount of access to the software program. By using a software program storage medium storing an individual identification code along with the provided software program, a service provider managing a supplemental pay function of the software program uses such individual identification code as a search key for storing user's individual information, information on software access limitation range and information on the condition of access to the software program. By doing so, the individual identification code can be read out form the software program storage medium installed in a user terminal and then, based on such information on the range of access limitation and information on the condition of access to the software program, the user terminal is authorized to access the software program. <IMAGE> |
