Abstract
In an information processing apparatus, upon the calling of a web application being instructed, the information processing apparatus sets a URL corresponding to the web application in the web browser and makes a request to the web server, and when a request to perform a confirmation process for the license is received from the web server, the information processing apparatus generates signature information of the information processing apparatus, sends the signature information to the URL, and obtains authorization information from the web server. The web server confirms a license of the information processing apparatus in response to the request from the information processing apparatus, and responds to the information processing apparatus with web application content upon the license of the information processing apparatus being successfully confirmed.
