Electronic musical apparatus (EMA), e.g. an electronic musical instrument,
has a storage area for storing a unique ID; however, unique ID is empty
in the storage area in an initial condition, e.g. condition at the time
of shipment from a factory. Unique ID is issued by a Web server to the
EMA when a user having acquired the EMA accesses a predetermined Web site
having an ID issuing function, and the EMA stores the supplied unique ID
in the storage area. The Web server determines whether or not any unique
ID has already been issued to a given EMA having accessed the Web site,
and, if not yet issued, the Web server may automatically issue a unique
ID. Alternatively, the Web server may issue a unique ID when an ID
issuance request has been received from a user of the EMA. User
registration operation and unique ID issuance and registration operations
may be carried out together as a set of operations.
