My customer uses cyberoam 24x7 client for login and when I replaced his nic, I had to call them up to reset my mac address. Login not only checks the physical paramaters like ip and mac but also the username and password. Once password is authenticated, your user id is checked for account status and after all clear, your gateway route is active.

Yes. But for the linux client i.e. linc-daemon there is no need to contact the ISP and ask them to reset the MAC. The client sends whatever MAC you tell it to in the login packet. As for windoze clients, well newer NICs have an option to specify the network address. You put in your old NIC's MAC in there and you're set ;)
