Abstract
Device identification information for causing a device to execute a job, and owner information for specifying the owner of the device are stored in association with each other. When the state of the device satisfies a predetermined condition, a display apparatus is controlled to display a screen for prompting a user to input the owner information. When the stored owner information is not input in the displayed screen, the device identification information is invalidated. When the owner information has been input or when the state of the device does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the device is controlled to be able to execute the job in accordance with the stored device identification information.
