Abstract
First, an ID added disc is loaded. A disc ID is read from the disc at step S. The disc ID matches a hardware ID of hardware that can use software recorded on the disc. If the disc ID has not been read from the disc, an error process is performed. At step S, a hardware ID of hardware connected to a personal computer is obtained. At step S, it is determined whether or not both the IDs match. When the determined result represents that they match, at step S, an application starts. When the determined result at step Srepresents that they do not match, at step S, an error message is displayed on a display of the personal computer.
