Abstract
An image forming apparatus stores, for an application, a meta file including a setting data version and a setting data compatible version in a storage as information about the application. In a case where setting data of the application is to be imported, an application management unit of the image forming apparatus determines whether to allow import of the setting data as an import target by using a version of the setting data, a setting data version that is stored as the information about the application corresponding to the setting data as the import target, and a setting data compatible version, and determines whether to allow import of the setting data as the import target.
