Abstract
The failure frequency of first communication at the time of activation with a setting management server arranged in the same apparatus is reduced. A client switches the timing of executing the first communication at the time of activation by whether the server is the same apparatus. If the server is the same apparatus, activation of the server is delayed and the first communication at the time of activation for synchronization is performed after the delay. The delay period is, for example, for a predetermined time or for a period until a notification from the server is received.
