Abstract: A software modification management program is executed by a computer, whereby, when input with modification data, a modification application scheduled node decision unit generates a modification application scheduled node list. A modification applicable node selection unit successively extracts the node IDs of nodes which are not executing a job, from the modification application scheduled node list to set the extracted node IDs as modification applicable node IDs until the value of a modification-in-progress node counter indicating the number of nodes to which software modification is being applied reaches a predetermined upper limit value. A service management unit stops the service of nodes corresponding to the modification applicable node IDs. In accordance with the modification data, a modification unit modifies target software installed on the nodes whose service has been stopped.
