Version History

NetScanTools Pro 2000 was first released on July 1, 1999. This version was also known as v1.0. Two subsequent major revisions were made on January 12, 2000 (Release 2) and June 20, 2000 (Release 3). These corresponded to v2.0 and 3.0 respectively.

How to tell which release you have. Start by looking at the About tab. If you have Release 3, the top line on the tab will read "NetScanTools Pro 2000 (tm) Release 3". If you have Release 2, the top line on the tab will read "NetScanTools Pro 2000 (tm) Release 2". If you do not see those words, you have the original release, Release 1, which reads "NetScanTools Pro 2000 (tm) or "NetScanTools Pro 2000 (tm) Release 1". Another way to tell is that Release 2 and 3 have a DHCP tab, Release 1 does not.
