Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a coexistence condition storage memory unit configured to store combination information for each combination of first programs that can be installed in a device, the combination information including memory consumption information indicating an amount of memory that is consumed by simultaneously executing the combination of the first programs; an install information receiving unit configured to receive an install target first program selected as an install target and device information relevant to the device selected as an install destination of the install target first program; and a validity determining unit configured to determine, by referring to the coexistence condition storage memory unit, a predicted amount of memory that is consumed by simultaneously executing a first combination of the install target first program and an existing first program that is already installed in the device and indicated in the device information, and determine validity of installing the install target first program by comparing the predicted amount of memory with an amount of available memory of the device selected as the install destination indicated in the device information, wherein the device information includes a version of the existing first program that is already installed in the device.
