When the user accesses a server () from a user terminal () with a predetermined account and enters the license authentication cancellation key, a license authentication cancellation unit () cancels authentication of a license for a previous version. Furthermore, when the user enters a product serial number of an upgrade version softwareand the like, an upgrade verification unit () confirms that the user owns the license for the previous version and that the authentication has been canceled, and an activation key issue unit () issues an activation key for an upgrade license.
