METHOD FOR MANAGING LICENSE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a license managing method by which use efficiency can be improved by providing a function for managing the acquisition state of any unnecessary license after a GUI is started. SOLUTION: This system main body 104 is provided with a license acquiring means 101 for issuing a request for acquiring a license necessary for the system main body 104 so that a system starting means 105 can be constituted. Moreover, the request for acquiring a license from the system starting means 105 is controlled by a license managing means 106. Thus, it is possible for a user who starts a GUI 102 to validly utilize the license by allowing the license managing means 106 to perform license releasing processing without intentionally ending the start of the GUI 102.
