Abstract: A license management apparatus includes: a determination part configured to, before an execution unit for an application, as a unit to which a license for execution of the application is issued, newly executes the application, determine whether a license of a first type is issuable to the execution unit that newly executes the application; a license issue part configured to, when the license of the first type is not issuable, issue a license of a second type to the execution unit that newly executes the application; and a control part configured to control the execution unit in such a way that the execution unit executes the application using the license of the second type. The license management apparatus thus rapidly adds an execution environment for a new application even when the execution environment is difficult to rapidly add because of a problem on license management.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to be able to execute motor assist only when it is necessary at a time of starting an engine, and drive a motor efficiently. An engine 10 includes a starter motor 34 for aiding in starting, and performs motor assist by the starter motor 34 in accordance with necessity when the engine is to start independently by combustion. An ECU 50 predicts a torque T1 that is generated in an initial explosion cylinder at a time of starting before actual combustion, and performs independent starting without driving the motor 34, when the prediction torque T1 is a starting request torque Ts1 or more. When the prediction torque T1 is less than the starting request torque Ts1, the ECU 50 drives the motor 34 and performs starting by motor assist. Thereby, power consumption of a battery and the like can be suppressed by decreasing wasteful drive of the motor, and the starter motor 34 can be efficiently driven while startability is secured.
