Abstract

An information processing device includes an installation unit which downloads installation data of an application program corresponding to a function from an external device and installs the application program. A license acquisition unit acquires a license file from an external device in order to activate the function. A license managing unit manages presence of a license of the function independently of presence of the license file. A license transfer managing unit transfers the license from a source device to a destination device and updates the presence of the license of the function. An automatic return unit automatically returns the transferred license to the source device according to automatic return conditions stored in the information processing device.
