The USB Version of the Managed Switch Port Mapping Tool runs from and is entirely contained on a USB Flash Drive. No installation is required. It is portable software that runs on versions of Windows supporting access to a USB Flash Drive.
Question: I want to put this on a drive that plugs into the USB port - ie. a portable hard drive or SSD or an SD type card. Will it work? No, this software must run from a USB flash drive.

Northwest Performance Software Inc. is proud to announce
the release of a fully portable version of the Managed
Switch Port Mapping Tool that runs from a USB Flash
Drive when used on the Windows operating system. The
application software is fully contained on the USB flash
drive and does not require installation. All data is
saved to the flash drive and the application completely
operates from the flash drive. Simply plug the USB flash
drive into a Windows XP or later USB 2.0 (or 3.0) port
and start the application on the flash drive.
NOTE (2017): support for XP has been dropped and we ship
128GB drives.
The
application software is offered preconfigured on a 16GB
USB 3.0/2.0 compatible high speed flash drive or as a
download fileset allowing the enduser to install the
software on their own high speed USB flash drive (with
assistance from our technical support).
NetScanTools Pro USB
Version users may elect to purchase this new software to
compliment their existing software on their current USB
flash drive.
There is no trial of the USB Version
- please try the installed version from the
Download page - it operates
from your hard drive - the USB version will operate the
same except that all the results are saved on the USB
drive.
This video on YouTube shows how the USB version is
used.
The USB Flash Drive version is available two ways: 1. preinstalled on a USB Flash Drive that we ship to you or 2. 'End-User Install' where we give you a custom fileset to place on your existing USB Flash Drive. Please visit this page (near the bottom of the page) for current pricing.
