ABSTRACT:
An information processing method for managing issuance of a license that controls an operation of a device and a function of an application to be installed in the device determines whether issuance of a unified license that unifies licenses for making the application operable in a plurality of devices is requested. The unified license is issued based on a combination of the devices identified by the device serial information and the application identified by the license access information, if determined that issuance of the unified license is requested.
