USB Version FAQs

• How do I run the software on Windows Vista? Right click on nstpro.exe and select 'Run as administrator' -- you must do this so that features that use WinPcap work.
• Are the executable files digitally signed? Yes, all executables and DLLs are digitally signed so that you can be sure of their origin.
• I already have an installed v10 license. Does the USB license replace it? No, we treat them as separate licenses -- essentially separate programs. We can sync up the maintenance plans if you desire for a substantial cost savings.
• Why can't I just put the regular installed version on a USB Flash Drive? You can do that BUT all settings will be saved in the Registry of the computer originally installed on and the program will not be portable, ie. it will not work on another computer because those registry settings are not present. Also, WinPcap must be installed on the computer.
• Is the USB Flash Drive U3 capable? No, U3 is not required to run a portable application and is not necessary for NetScanTools Pro operation.
• Can we buy an installer and use it to install NetScanTools Pro USB Version on our own USB drive? No, we need to be sure that certain speed standards are met. USB flash drives are not created equally and speed varies considerably between models even within the same manufacturer.
• Are there any speed issues with running from a USB Flash Drive? Yes. USB Flash Drives are slower than hard drives so you will notice a certain amount of delay in repainting some of the tool windows as you switch between them. Since we save files to the USB drive instead of the hard drive, any of those write operations will be slower.
• Does this version of NetScanTools Pro leave any tracks on the computer it was used on? We have worked to make sure that does not happen and to the best of our knowledge it should not. However, be aware that the operating system does keep a record of all USB devices ever plugged into it in the registry and it keeps a record of most recently used programs. If you want to be completely anonymous you will have to edit the registry to remove those tracks.
• I own a license for the current version of NetScanTools Pro. Why is there a cost for the USB version? We are supplying a physical USB Flash Drive. The binary files are different between the two versions and are mostly incompatible. Much work went into creating those new binary files to support portable software. Both the USB and Installed versions will be released simultaneously so that the version numbers and functionality remains the same.
• Are there any functions in the installed version that do not work in the USB version? To the best of our knowledge all functions operate the same.
• Can I put other things on the USB Flash Drive? Yes, but be careful not to fill it up or the programs may not work properly.
• Can I move NetScanTools Pro to another flash drive? Yes, but it does require our assistance. You are licensed to have this software on one USB Flash Drive.
• Can I make a backup of the contents of the USB Flash Drive? Yes, we strongly encourage backups. The backup is only for yourself and must not be shared.
• How do I make a backup? Copy the whole drive contents to your backup media -- CDR is preferred.
• Is there a maintenance plan for this version?** Yes, the terms and conditions are the same as for the installed version. **Techmentor SF/Orlando 2008 Ultimate USB Security Stick does not include a maintenance plan.
• I already have v10 with an active maintenance plan. If I get the USB version can I sync up the maintenance plans so that they both expire at the same time? Yes, we can provide special pricing at substantial savings so that both plans will have the same expiration date.
• What if I lose the USB Flash Drive? There will be a replacement fee and a new license key issued. Make a backup so you can reduce the cost and time it takes to get the program up and running again.
