ABSTRACT:
A management server201transmits information representing a list of additional applications installable on an image forming apparatus202to the image forming apparatus202(S410). When an application is selected from the list and an instruction to execute the application is issued, a request for installation is issued to the management server201if the application has not been installed. The management server201installs the requested application on the image forming apparatus if the management server201has a license for the requested application and the application can be installed (M470). On the other hand, if the application cannot be installed because of insufficient resources, a resource is freed up by flushing and then the application is installed.
