Hi,

We have purchased an unmanaged VPS windows hosting solution from one of the UK based companies. We have Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition.

We need to install certain third party applications on that server. Unfortunatelly, one of the applications requires a MAC address to be present at all times - this is their way of making sure that software is not pirated (which it isn't).

We have tried installing a virtual loopback network card, but this has brought the server down - i.e. we couldn't connect using remote desktop any longer.

At the moment we are limited with what we can try. This is an unmanaged solution, therefore any support including restarts is rather costly.

Are you aware of any low-risk solutions?

Thank you
