Abstract

To provide an information processing device that is capable of restricting the use of an application or content in an unauthorized device to which the application or the content is copied. A storage situation information storing unit (32) stores, in a storage unit (30) where an application or content is stored, storage situation information which indicates a storage situation of the application or the content at predetermined reference timing, as one of components of the application or the content. An execution restricting unit (34) restricts execution of the application or the content in a case where the execution of the application or the content is instructed and a current storage situation of the application or the content differs from a storage situation that is indicated by the storage situation information.
