Yes, I did understand what it meant, but thanks for the
clarification. What I meant was that not cloning allows you to make
changes within the LAN, like changing the NIC or adding machines,
without BlueYonder needing to know, so that your quota of MACs is
unaffected.

I don't think you know how cloning works. Once you use it to set the
MAC address of the router, that MAC address stays fixed, unless you go
through the cloning process again. So you can change things on the LAN
side, without changing what Blue Yonder sees. What is is for is when
you have registered a NIC with your ISP, you can add the router in
between that NIC, and the cable/DSL modem, without the modem knowing
anything has changed. Even if you later change the NIC connected to the
router, it still "pretends" to be the original NIC, as far as the modem
in concerned.
