A management apparatus for equipment such as a copying machine has cards recording section data or the like, a card controller for reading the data from a card when the card is inserted and used when the number of sections using the machine is relatively large, a key counter for counting the number of copies produced in each section used when the number of sections using the machine is small, a control/display section for displaying the data read from the card and other data, and a microcomputer for controlling the operation of the card controller. The number of copies produced by each section, the total number of copies produced by the machine and corresponding amounts of money can be easily checked. The upper limit for use of the machine by each section can be set and displayed in desired units, the use of the machine by a particular section can be prohibited, or such prohibition can be released as needed. The management data can be easily erased, and the life of the battery for backing up a memory storing the management data is prolonged.
