ABSTRACT:
A distribution apparatus includes a firmware distribution unit distributing firmware corresponding to a post-update version of firmware included in an acquisition request to an image processing apparatus; a determination unit determining whether migration of setup information stored in a storage unit in the image processing apparatus is necessary in the update of the firmware from a pre-update version currently applied to the image processing apparatus to the post-update version on the basis of the pre-update version, the post-update version, and data on the setup information in which combinations of the versions of firmware are associated with information indicating whether the migration of the setup information is necessary; and a setup-migration-program distribution unit distributing a setup migration program involved in the migration of the setup information to the image processing apparatus if the determination unit determines that the migration is necessary.
