Permanent Sniffer Portable Professional
licenses can be based on either a MAC or
an IP address. If the IP address changes
on a system using IP-based licensing,
you will need to request and apply a
new serial number based on the new IP
address. Because of this, you should
only use the IP-based option if you are
using a static IP address.
• If you use a static IP address for the
Sniffer Portable Professional PC, you
can use either the IP or MAC address.
• If you use a dynamic IP address for
the Sniffer Portable Professional PC,
you should use the MAC address
option.
