Network Diagnostics Made Simple
WinMTR combines ping and traceroute into one powerful tool. Monitor packet loss, latency, and network routes in real-time—no installation required.
WinMTR is a free, open-source Windows application that continuously sends packets to a target host, tracking every network hop along the way. Unlike running ping and traceroute separately, WinMTR shows both in real-time, updating live as data flows through your network.
Originally created in 2000 by Vasile Laurentiu Stanimir as a Windows clone of Matt's Traceroute (MTR) for Linux/UNIX, WinMTR has become a trusted diagnostic tool used by network administrators, ISP support teams, and everyday users troubleshooting connectivity issues. plecs trial license
The tool is completely portable—just extract and run. No installation, no admin rights required, no configuration needed. Version 4
Lightweight, powerful, and designed to give you answers fast.
Watch network performance live as WinMTR continuously probes your route, updating packet loss and latency statistics every second.
Instantly identify exactly where data packets are being dropped along your network path, from your router to the destination.
See best, worst, and average response times at each hop. Quickly spot which network segment is causing slowdowns.
Copy results to clipboard or export as text/HTML. Share detailed diagnostics with your ISP or support team in one click.
Fully portable—extract the ZIP and run. No setup wizards, no admin privileges, no registry changes. Works on any Windows PC.
Prefer the terminal? WinMTR offers full command-line support for scripting, automation, and advanced diagnostics.
Up and running in under a minute.
Download the ZIP file, extract it anywhere. Choose the 32-bit or 64-bit version for your system.
Double-click WinMTR.exe. No installation needed—it launches instantly.
Type a domain name or IP address (e.g., github.com) and click Start.
Let it run for 1-2 minutes. Export results via Copy or Export buttons to share with support.

What each column tells you about your network.
Each row represents one hop—a router or server between you and the destination. Lower numbers are closer to you; the last hop is your target.
Percentage of packets that failed to return from this hop. 0-1% is normal. Consistent >5% loss indicates a problem at that point.
Round-trip time in milliseconds. Avg is most useful. Large jumps between hops or high Worst values suggest congestion.
Shows both IP address and hostname (if resolvable). Helps identify if the problem is your router, ISP, or a third-party network.
Total packets sent and received at each hop. More packets = more accurate statistics. Run tests for at least 1-2 minutes for reliable data.
Some hops show "No response" or timeouts. This is normal—many routers are configured to ignore ICMP. Focus on hops that do respond.

Plexim offers free trial licenses for both PLECS Blockset and PLECS Standalone, allowing users to experience the full functionality of the software. Steps to Register
While waiting for the license, download the PLECS installer (available for Windows, Linux, and macOS). Version 4.9 or newer is recommended for the latest thermal models.
Pro tip: Be specific in the "Intended Use" field. Plexim uses this to flag potential competitors or export-controlled entities, but also to offer you tailored tutorials. Writing "LLC resonant converter for battery charging" moves you past automated filters faster than "testing."

This comprehensive guide explores everything you need to know about securing, installing, and maximizing a PLECS trial license. Types of PLECS Trial Licenses
The trial license extends beyond the core simulation environment, allowing you to evaluate advanced Plexim products:
A PLECS trial license is a powerful scalpel—it gives you everything except production deployment and team sharing. Use it to prove a concept, validate a solver, or escape an algebraic loop. But don’t fall in love with its C-Script and Thermal features unless you’re ready to pay. And never, ever try to extend it with fake MAC addresses. Plexim’s license server logs everything.
Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
After verification, Plexim will email you a trial license file (license.lic) and download links.
But the data was already saved. The design was approved. And she sent a purchase request to her department head the next morning, subject line: “Critical Need: Full PLECS License for Next Phase.”
Note: Your trial license can also include add-on modules like (for generating C code from your models) and PIL (Processor-in-the-Loop) testing frameworks if requested. Step-by-Step Guide to Requesting a PLECS Trial License
