Question about MAC addresses Automatic vs Manual

$

Hi

 

I am running 2 physical hosts with vsphere Essentials Plus. I have been using the automatically generated MAC address for each virtual machine to register them with our DHCP server (every MAC address on our network has to be registered with it before getting an IP address) Now I am worried whether these generated MACs ever change? I've read that they can change if the VMs are moved to a new storage but there was no definite answer on this. Also could I copy the automatically generated MAC and then paste in the MANUAL MAC field if I wanted to make sure they are static?

 

thanks
