Abstract
A recording medium 10 is provided with a read only memory 12 having a program recorded therein and a non-volatile memory 13 in which a virgin code is written when it is under non-use state. When an information processing device 50 detects the virgin code, it writes the ID code thereof. The information processing device 50 does not read out any program from a recording medium which is not the recording medium 10 in which the ID code thereof is recorded. Therefore, the program can be executed only by the information processing device which is registered in the recording medium 10, whereby the association between the recording medium and the specific information processing device can be strengthened.

5. An information processing device which accepts supply of a program from a recording medium which is detachably mounted in said information processing device comprising:
-
means for storing inherent data to identify an information processing device; and
means for checking whether the information corresponding to said inherent data is recorded in said recording medium mounted, and accepting said supply of said program recorded in said recording medium when said information corresponding to said inherent data is recorded. - View Dependent Claims (8)

6. An information processing device which accepts supply of a program from a recording medium which is detachably mounted in said information processing device comprising:
-
means for storing inherent data to identify said information processing device; and
means for checking whether information corresponding to said inherent data is recorded in said recording medium mounted, checking whether said inherent data can be recorded in said recording medium if said information corresponding to said inherent information is not recorded, and recording said inherent information in said recording medium if said inherent information can be recorded in said recording medium.

9. A method of associating a recording medium and an information processing device in which said recording medium is mountable comprising steps of:
-
recording inherent data of said information processing device in said information processing device;
checking whether information corresponding to said inherent data of said information processing device is recorded in said recording medium when said recording medium is mounted in said information processing device, and recording said inherent data in said recording medium, if said information is not recorded in said recording medium. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
