Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a detecting unit and a license update requesting unit. The detecting unit detects a status of an element involved in execution of software. The license update requesting unit requests an update of license information of the software if the status detected by the detecting unit is a status that does not satisfy a condition desired for executing the software.
Claims6
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a detecting unit that detects a status of an element involved in execution of software;
- and
- a license update requesting unit that requests an update of license information of the software if the status detected by the detecting unit is a status that does not satisfy a condition desired for executing the software.
A license management system comprising:
- an information processing apparatus that executes software;
- and
- a management apparatus that manages license information of the software,
- wherein the information processing apparatus includes
- a detecting unit that detects a status of an element involved in execution of the software,
- a status notifying unit that notifies the management apparatus of the status detected by the detecting unit, and
- a license update requesting unit that requests an update of the license information of the software if a notification indicating that the status detected by the detecting unit is a status that does not satisfy a condition desired for executing the software is received from the management apparatus, and
- wherein the management apparatus includes
- a determining unit that determines whether or not the status of the element satisfies the condition desired for executing the software if the status of the element is notified from the information processing apparatus,
- a determination result notifying unit that provides a notification of a determination result obtained by the determining unit, and
- an updating unit that updates the license information if the update of the license information of the software is requested from the information processing apparatus.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing information, the process comprising:
- detecting a status of an element involved in execution of software;
- and
- requesting an update of license information of the software if the detected status is a status that does not satisfy a condition desired for executing the software.
