Docker start assigning always the same mac 02:42:ac:11:00:02 for the first container and then is increasing by one each mac for each different container.

It seems 02:42:ac doesn't match any real vendor in oui databases. Look at the official documentation about this. They say:

The MAC address is generated using the IP address allocated to the container to avoid ARP collisions, using a range from 02:42:ac:11:00:00 to 02:42:ac:11:ff:ff

Anyway, you can set any mac address on container generation using --mac-address parameter on the docker run command. For example doing a command like this docker run -ti --mac-address 00:00:00:00:00:11 ubuntu:trusty. So you can control the mac of each container for licensing.

I copied my own answer on a similar question here.

Hope it helps.
