Zusammenfassung:An information processing apparatus includes a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) memory which stores a BIOS program, a management information memory which stores management information in which each BIOS function is associated with an expiration date of the BIOS function and a state of the BIOS function; and a processor. The processor executes a BIOS management process which, when a date acquired from a clock has passed the expiration date stored in the management information memory, disables the BIOS function corresponding to the expiration date and changes, to an invalid state, the state of the BIOS function corresponding to the disabled BIOS function in the management information.
