Control firewall access

Hello. We are running version 9.310-11 with a 50 user license. The average use of the license is between 45-47. The problem is that client pc's come for service and users that know dns+gateway configuration of the network, assign static ip's to these computers, exceeding our licensed users (althought i've told them not to do it, DHCP assigns with mac address filter).

I would like to have a way to tell the firewall that it allows any kind of access only to specific computer, declining access to any other pc even wih correct network configuration, and it won't count these ip's

Is there a way to do this?
Regards.

This:
Another possibility is to reduce the size of you DHCP scope and internal network scope by CIDR.

Change the CIDR on your interface config,
Instead of a /24(255.255.255.0) or larger, use a /26(255.255.255.192),
Of you just need 40 addresses at max, do the last one, that's 62 hosts.
It leaves some space for expansion.

if you have just a 50-user license, that's the smallest network you can use.
Or it will be a max of 30 hosts(32 addresses, network/broadcast+30 hosts).

Kind regards,
Frank
