An information processing apparatus connectable with a terminal via a network to manage a license of a package including applications assignable to a device includes circuitry configured to display a first screen for displaying a device list, the license of the package being assignable to and cancellable from the device in response to receiving a first request, receive a selection of a specific device in the device list and any one of an operation of assigning and cancelling the license of the package, assign the license of the package to the selected specific device in response to receiving the selection of the specific device and the operation of assigning the license of the package, and cancel the license of the package from the selected specific device in response to receiving the selection of the specific device and the operation of cancelling the license of the package.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and method of processing information

An information processing system, apparatus, and method are disclosed each of which: receives a request for using an application from an electronic device via a network; determines whether the requested application is applicable to the electronic device and is currently useable by the electronic device; determines whether a number of devices currently using the requested application has reached an upper limit number that is previously set, when the determining determines that the requested application is applicable to the electronic device but is not currently useable by the electronic device; and allows the electronic device to use the requested application, when the determining determines that a number of devices using the requested application has not reached the upper limit number.

Information processing system, information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing system includes at least one server and one or more devices communicable with the server through a network. The information processing system includes circuitry configured to: manage a service in association with a device type that can use the service; manage the devices in association with the device type, the devices each being a target device to which a license is to be allocated; and compare a device type associated with the target device to which the license is to be allocated with the device type associated with the service, to determine whether an allocation of the license of the service to the target device is permitted.

Information processing system, server, non-transitory computer-readable medium, and method for controlling assignment of license

A cloud system provides services to a user registered in a tenant and includes a processor programmed to issue a communication destination for registering the user in association with the tenant.

Cloud system, information processing system, and user registration method

At least one information processing apparatus includes a circuitry that: receives, as a package management unit, a setting of a role, which can assign a usage authority of an application package containing at least one application, with respect to the application package, and permits or restricts, as a user management unit, a user to use the application package in conformity with the role, which is allocated to the user of the application, and the role, which is set in the application package.

Information processing system, apparatus, and method for setting a role in an application package

An information processing system includes a client apparatus and a service providing system. The client apparatus includes first circuitry to transmit, to the service providing system, a package acquisition request for obtaining a package including at least one application program. The service providing system includes second circuitry. The second circuitry receives the package acquisition request, and obtains the package. The second circuitry receives, from the client apparatus, an email address and a tenant setup request, and generates a usage registration screen. The second circuitry transmits an email addressed to the email address, the email including a network, and receives an access to the usage registration screen from an information processing apparatus. The second circuitry sets up a tenant in response to acquisition of package identification information, and registers the at least one application program included in the package identified by the package identification information with the tenant.

Information processing system, service providing system, and information processing method

An electronic device includes a setting unit configured to set setting information of an operation of the electronic device according to common setting information; a designation information acquisition unit configured to acquire designation information, which designates an acquisition origin of the common setting information, via a network; and a setting information acquisition unit configured to acquire the common setting information from the acquisition origin of the common setting information designated by the designation information acquired by the designation information acquisition unit.

Electronic device, information processing system and storage medium

An information processing system sending setup information related to a setup of an apparatus to the apparatus includes the apparatus including a receiving unit configured to receive user information of a user of the apparatus, and a first communication unit configured to send the user information and the apparatus information related to the apparatus to an information processing apparatus, and the information processing apparatus including a second communication unit configured to receive the user information and the apparatus information, and a setup information determining unit configured to determine the setup information of the apparatus used by the user based on the apparatus information and the user information, wherein the second communication unit sends the setup information determined by the setup information determining unit to the apparatus.

Information processing system, information processing apparatus, and program

In an image forming apparatus, setting information is stored in a storage part for a function which the image forming apparatus operates based on the setting information. An acquisition request of common setting information is sent to an information processing apparatus including the common setting information in common with multiple of the image forming apparatuses connected through a network. The common setting information is received from the information processing apparatus. The common setting information received by the receiving part is set in the setting information stored in the storage part.

Image forming apparatus, information setting system, and information setting method for controlling setting values by requesting setting information through a network

An image processing apparatus includes a storing unit that stores setting information for operating the image processing apparatus; and an updating control unit that sends a request for obtaining predetermined differentiated setting information, which is a part of a set of setting information stored in a data processing apparatus in a differentiated manner in accordance with a predetermined differentiating criterion, to the data processing apparatus via a network, obtains the predetermined differentiated setting information from the data processing apparatus via the network and controls to update the setting information stored in the storing unit by the obtained predetermined differentiated setting information.
