Hi,

I guess Windows does not use WiFi physical address. Instead of this it generates random physical address. This feature can be disabled - see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-use-random-hardware-addresses-in-windows-ac58de34-35fc-31ff-c650-823fc48eb1bc page.

Note: If your computer contains Ethernet network card, then you can turn of WiFi and connect computer to network using cable. During Creo installation Ethernet physical address is used. Later you have to disable Windows to shutdown Ethernet card when it is not connected to switch using cable.
