A bit late but:

Network traffic and any local software like McAfee HBSS installation. That though depends on what is configured. Certain traffic doesn't have to be caught on the network level, it can be caught before it even leaves your client/server. LMAO, if you were trying to run this from a server....wow, you deserve to get fired.

EDIT:

On another note; Ability to use USB on a client is a huge IA risk factor. You must work for a company which doesn't give a crap about IA. USB allowance should be justified on a case by case basis.

Step 1: have a smartphone
Step 2: set up smartphone for personal hotspot
Step 3: connect computer to personal hotspot, load up evercrack
Step 4: get fired anyway while going over on your cellular data plan
Step 5: profit??

You run into a potential few issues:

Network traffic isn't something I'd actually worry about. The amount of data sent to/from the server for P99 is very minimal. This game was played on dial up modems.

That being said:

The data being sent is UDP packets and they may be blocked via your network firewall.

Further preventing you from playing...

If your computers are locked down you're going to run into problem executing the program off the flash drive. Some companies lock machines down so much so that you cannot execute programs that aren't allowed. Let's assume your office doesn't do that, or does it but to a lesser extent.

Your next possible problem is AV software. I'd like to think your company isn't idiots and has the software locked down, preventing end users from changing scans, disabling scans and/or making any changes to the AV software. Assuming that your IT department has half a brain, you're done here, as that .DLL file is flagged and you will be unable to play the game. In fact, if the IT department configured the AV software properly, your flash drive was scanned as soon as you plugged it into the computer and at that point you were done.

So, to answer the question -- UDP packet transfer must be allowed, your AV software needs to be able to be modified/disabled on your end and you need to have some sort of permission level in order to launch an application.

The bandwidth issue is a non issue. You'd use more bandwidth streaming spotify or listening to music on Youtube.

Exactly the case on my corporate laptop :/
- UDP blocked
- can't install
- dll deleted by AV the moment I insert the USB key. No hand on the AV.
