PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A processing apparatus, comprising:
- a provision unit that is connected to a communication unit used to communicate with a plurality of actual apparatuses which perform previously determined processes and a manipulation unit which is used to manipulate the actual apparatuses, that forms virtual image processing functions which control operations of the actual apparatuses based on manipulation of the manipulation unit, and that provides services using the virtual image processing functions; and
a control unit that, when an operation execution instruction of the actual apparatuses is given using the manipulation unit via the communication unit, limits the processes which exceed an amount of licenses indicating a previously contracted number of actual apparatuses which may be executed at a same time, throughputs of the previously contracted number of actual apparatuses which may be executed at the same time, or a previously contracted number of virtual image processing functions which may be executed at the same time, and that controls the provision unit such that the services are provided based on the operation execution instruction.
