Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of replacement components to be replaced according to their lifetimes. An information setting unit sets a replacement type of each of the replacement components, which indicates whether each of the replacement components is to be replaced at failure or replaced periodically, and a replacer who is in charge of replacing each of the replacement components. An information registering unit registers therein the replacement type and the replacer set by the information setting unit for each of the replacement components.

Abstract: A disclosed information processing apparatus is connected to an external processing apparatus via a predetermined communication network, and causes the external processing apparatus to perform at least part of a process of a predetermined service on behalf of the information processing apparatus. Information is held for authenticating the external processing apparatus being requested to perform at least part of the process. A request is sent to the external processing apparatus to perform at least part of the process. The external processing apparatus is caused to perform at least part of the process in such a manner to control a function of the information processing apparatus from the outside, in the event of determining, based on the held information, that a request received from the external processing apparatus is authenticated as corresponding to the sent request.
