Description

Whenever the CP session timeout is longer than the DHCP lease length, and a different device gets assigned an IP, a new user's login will be detected as "CONCURRENT LOGIN - REUSING OLD SESSION", but it's actually not - the session doesn't work because the MAC isn't checked to ensure it really is a concurrent login.

This is rarely an issue as CP session timeouts are rarely, and should never, be longer than the DHCP lease length in environments with frequently changing devices. Hence not targeting 2.0.
