摘要

A device management apparatus communicably connected to a terminal device through a network includes a processor. The processor acquires, via the terminal device, first device information that is information on a specific device connected to the terminal device and license information indicating a license given to the device. The processor refers to a memory that stores second device information to determine whether the first device information is identical to the second device information. The processor transmits, when the acquired first device information is different from the second device information, the license information to an authentication server to determine whether to reflect the first device information to the second device information according to an authentication result received from the authentication server.
