摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily evaluate, utilize and renew a medical software in a medical image diagnosis device and simply evaluate and purchase optional parts. SOLUTION: A MRI device 21 in which a medical software 13 having a utilization limit is registered and a vender-managed server device 100 managed by a vender as a provider for the medical software 13 manages, are connected to each other via a network 1. The MRI device 21 sends a request for usage or purchase to the vender managed server device 100 via the network 1 when a request button for 'usage' or a request button for 'purchase' of the medical software 13 is clicked on a screen of a customer Web page 12A. Upon receiving the request for usage or purchase, the vender managed server device 100 sends to the MRI device 21 via the network 1 an option key 14 for making the medical software 13 usable. Therefore, the newest medical software can be easily and quickly utilized and the optional parts can be borrowed for evaluation or purchased from the vender.
