1. A method to identify a computer system, comprising:
- a step of acquiring identification information constituted by a plurality of identification items from an identification-target computer system;
a step of comparing, in accordance with said identification items, said acquired identification information with identification information of identification-target computer systems registered in advance;
a step of integrating coefficients about discordant ones of said identification items of said identification information so as to obtain an integrated value, said coefficients being defined for said identification items respectively; and
a step of judging whether said identification-target computer system can be identified or not, on the basis of said integrated value and a predetermined threshold value.

7. A method to identify a user system in a maintenance service system having user systems and a center system, comprising the steps of:
-
acquiring identification information from a user system;
comparing said acquired identification information with identification information of registered users registered in said center system in advance; and
identifying a registered user in accordance with a difference between said acquired identification information and said registered identification information compared with each other. - View Dependent Claims (8)
