PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device capable of continuing a work without restarting an application even in case that a license is invalidated while a user performs the work by use of the application.;SOLUTION: This image forming device comprises a platform 206 for executing the application managed by the license. The platform transmits a license update report to the application when the license of the application is updated. The application stops the processing of a job (S305) when the license is invalidated during processing of the job, and displays information urging update of the license. Thereafter, a Web browser 205 is automatically started to access a license server (S307-S310). When the license update report is received from the platform 206 (S311), the processing of the job is restarted (S316) after confirming that the license is validated (S314).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
