Device management server storing association information associating user identification information with device information

A device management system comprising:

• a device comprising:
• a first controller;
• a first storage storing settings information for the device;
• a first network interface communicable with a network;
• and
• an input interface configured to receive instructions to the device;
• and
• a server comprising:
• a second controller;
• a second storage;
• and
• a second network interface communicable with the device via the network,
• wherein the first controller is configured to perform:
• when a setup instruction to perform a setup for the device is received from a user via the input interface, transmitting, to the server via the first network interface, a setup request for the setup together with user identification information for the user and device identification information for the device,
• wherein the second controller is configured to perform:
• when the setup request is received together with the user identification information and the device identification information via the second network interface, a determining process to determine whether first association information is stored in the storage, the first association information associating the user identification information with first device information, the first device information including the device identification information and first service information, the first service information being related to a provision of a service for the device;
• when the determining process determines that the first association information is stored in the storage, a first process to store second association information in the storage, the second association information associating the user identification information with second device information for the device, the second device information including second service information the same as the first service information;
• and
• when the determining process determines that the first association information is not stored in the storage and the device identification information is stored in the storage, a second process to store third association information in the storage, the third association information associating the user identification information with third device information for the device, the third device information including third service information, the third service information including first part of the first service information but excluding second part of the first service information.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a set of program instructions for a data management server, the data management server including a network interface communicable with a device via a network, a storage, and a controller, the set of program instructions when executed by the controller causing the data management server to perform:

• when a setup request for a setup is received together with user identification information for a user that has instructed to issue the setup request and device identification information for a device via the network interface, a determining process to determine whether first association information is stored in the storage, the first association information associating the user identification information with first device information, the first device information including the device identification information and first service information, the first service information being related to a provision of a service for the device;
• when the determining process determines that the first association information is stored in the storage, a first process to store second association information in the storage, the second association information associating the user identification information with second device information for the device, the second device information including second service information the same as the first service information;
• and
• when the determining process determines that the first association information is not stored in the storage and the device identification information is stored in the storage, a second process to store third association information in the storage, the third association information associating the user identification information with third device information for the device, the third device information including third service information, the third service information including first part of the first service information but excluding second part of the first service information.
