SMAC 2.0

MAC is short for Media Access Control; your MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to your network adapter or network card. To make things easier to understand, the MAC address is to your network card what the license plate is to your car – an easy way to identify it amongst other similar devices/cars.

Sometimes you will need to change your MAC address for one reason or another. Some manufacturers allow you to change your network card’s MAC address; others do not. If they do or do not, using the right piece of software to perform such a task is advisable.

You see, with the right piece of software this task can be done with ease. And here is where the KLC Consulting-developed SMAC application comes in. It is the software application that makes changing your MAC address a breeze. Here are the bits and pieces you need to know about this piece of software, in Q&A form:

Will it take forever to download?
The download weighs in at about 4MB, so no, it should complete in little to no time.
Will it work on my operating system?
Yes it will, if you are using any of the following operating systems: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Vista, or the latest iteration, Windows 7.
Is it easy to use?
Quite easy – you can use SMAC to change your MAC address and you can rest assured that the change will stick even after you perform a system restart.
Can I use it free of charge?
