Abstract
If it is determined that a delivery permission flag of a network device being a delivery target of a software program is inactivated (OFF), a delivery server instructs a set-value management server to activate (ON) the delivery permission flag of the network device being the delivery target. The set-value management server activates the delivery permission flag of the network device in response to the instruction and notifies the completion to the delivery server. The delivery server performs delivery preparation for the software program in response to the notification of the completion and, after the delivery preparation, controls the delivery of the software program in response to a request from a network device with the delivery permission flag activated.
