They say that on Windows you need to install Npcap first as a dependency [0].
However Npcap's free edition is limited to 5 installations, with unlimited installations only allowed when used with Nmap, Wireshark, and/or Microsoft Defender for Identity [1]. Anything beyond that requires a license.
I'm not sure if that's problematic. Sniffnet don't distribute Npcap themselves so they're ok, I guess, but they do require their users to install it on Windows . So I guess this means that for private use someone can install Sniffnet + Npcap on up to 5 computers, but organizations with Windows systems cannot use Sniffnet + Npcap unless they buy Npcap's license.
