Abstract
A license management system including an information processing apparatus includes a detecting unit and a license update requesting unit. The detecting unit detects a status of an element involved in execution of software. The license update requesting unit requests an update of license information of the software if the status detected by the detecting unit is a status that does not satisfy a condition desired for executing the software. The license management system may be usable within an image forming apparatus and include a user interface having an IC card reader.
