DescriptionMAC Randomization Feature Causing Increased License Consumption
ScopeVersion: Network Sentry 8
SolutionVersion: Network Sentry 8
Issue: "In Use" license count increasing unexpectedly due to MAC Randomization feature.
The following behavior is observed with the Persistent Agent installed on registered Windows 10 machines with the MAC Randomization feature enabled:
- Several host records generated with the same host name. Only one adapter associated to each one.
- Each host record shows online, but the associated adapter shows offline.
- Because the additional host records show online and registered, they are consuming a license.
Workaround: To release the licenses being consumed by the duplicate host records:
1. Disable MAC Randomization on the endstation.
2. Delete the extra online host records with the offline adapters.
Solution: Addressed in Network Sentry version 8.1.5 and above.
