Each network component in this branch is indicated by four digits starting from 0000, 0001 and so on. You
can find the right branch by browsing it and looking for DriverDesc option, where must be specified the
description (name) of your network card, for example: Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection.

Once the correct network card is found, add or modify REG_SZ key with name NetworkAddress, which
determines MAC (hardware) address of the network card. It is enough to change a single digit in the current
address, for example 0050560EFCCB.

So, MAC address of the network card is changed. Now you need to change VolumeID of system partition.
VolumeID (or Volume Serial Number) is a unique identifier of a volume on hard drive, which is set during
formatting.

Note. In some cases, TeamViewer is linked to a non-system volume of disk, or even to the removable media
volume, so it is likely that we need to change VolumeID of other partitions.

To change VolumeID use the console utility VolumeID v2.1. Download and extract archive VolumeId.zip.

Check the current VolumeID by opening command prompt with Administrator privileges and execute
command:

vol

Volume Serial Number is 5E37-ECE1.

Great tutorial.
But I think it must be added with this one:
http://handshake.co.za/2016/teamviewer-commercial-use-suspected-fix/

Attention for the exclusions of the “Temp” folders and Appdata, along with the use of
the SIDCHG tool.

Worked here. Windows 10 Pro, TV 11.

For me, it worked with just the registry key. I wanted to change the ID since an
employee resigned from my office, and had all the IDs of the TeamViewer installations
we had. With different IDs there is almost no possibility the person can reconnect with
those stations again. Changed the remote passwords as well!

I think this the first I have ever seen a potential solution for doing a Mac TeamViewer
reset of the ID. Thank you for that. (I had not heard of that script for Mac. Thanks for
the link.)

Close TeamViewer (make sure the process has
completely disappeared)

Put script file in the root directory of your Home folder

(Click Go, Home is easy way to get to Home folder, of
course)

Open Terminal

Run the script by typing the following exactly: sudo

./TeamViewer-id-changer.py

Hit Return

Reboot the computer

Good luck. (It worked for me)

Hi,

Try This

With VolumeID utility, I can change “C:\Program Files (x86)” folder, not “C:\Program
Files”. I dont know why.
The problem is that I can modify everything else, but not the creation date of “c: \
Program Files”.
It worked the first time (1 month ago). But now with this problem the team viewer ID
does not change.

Hello,
I have question for MAC OSX (sorry, never done ay programming…)
1) download the script, do you mean “download zip” (bow at the top right of the script?
2) where should I save the file? Is Download file correct?
3)When you say close team viewer, do you mean uninstall it or just close?
4) When you say “run the script: what does this mean? To write this script/sentence in
Terminal?
5) I have read that the “sudo” command can be dangerous if not used by someone
who knows what he is doing precisely). Is that true?
6) Does this work only for TV 11 and 12? Not 13?
Thank you very much!!
Pierre

Pierre:

Close TeamViewer (make sure the process has completely disappeared) (you do not
need to uninstall TeamViewer…just make sure it is fully quit)

You can download the .zip file anywhere you want, including the Downloads File. Once
it is unzipped:

https://theitbros.com/reset-teamviewer-id/ 9/12
8/7/2018 How to Reset TeamViewer ID – TheITBros
Put script file in the root directory of your Home folder (Click Go, Click Home is the easy
way to get to Home folder, of course)

Open Terminal

Run the script by typing inside the Terminal Window the following exactly:

sudo ./TeamViewer-id-changer.py

Hit Return on your keyboard (it is safe to run sudo commands if you get confirmation
that the specific command like the one above is safe and that it does work, like it works
for me)

Reboot the computer

After the reboot, you should have a new TeamViewer ID number when you open up
TeamViewer.
I cannot confirm that it works with ever version of TeamViewer 13 for Mac, but I did get
it to work with at least one version of TeamViewer 13 a while ago.

Good luck.

try follow it works for me on Ubuntu 18.04 actual Teamveiwer:
– If u connected with ur WLAN goto Network Manager an open the settings for WLAN.
Enter a new MAC Adress in the MAC Clone/Duplicate field.
– Teamviewer check ur MAC adress for the LAN Card, too. But when u r not connected
with LAN the MAC clone field not works while the LAN is inactive. So u must change the
MAC adress like this one in terminal:
ip link set dev enp3s0f2 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ->enp…. is ur LAN adapter in
Ubuntu u can check this with “ip link show” in Terminal. With this command u can check
the change of the MAC everytime to have control.
– When the MAC is changed on Both Network Adapter enter follow in Terminal:
service teamviewerd stop
service teamviewerd start
– Now u can start Teamviewer and get a new ID!
After restart computer i start a bash script with sudo in Terminal before i start
Teamviewer, like this:
#! /bin/bash
ip link set dev enp3s0f2 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
service teamviewerd stop
service teamviewerd start
– u must not delete anything only do the steps and after u can start teamviewer to get
new ID!

and when u like – u can run the script as cron job in ubuntu when
ubuntu starts like this:
boot als root:
@reboot /path/to/script.sh
use sudo crontab -eu root to edit root’s crontab and add ur scrpit with
above!

This is not clear… u can use ur TV account, but when u have too
many contacts in the list, u get the same problem again with the
comercial using warning! So than u can create a new ID again

Other solution i found is to use chrome browser and add the

teamviewer add on from webapp store. Here u get a new ID and u can
connect with the account login direct from browser….

Hello, do all the steps and I successfully changed the ID, it allows me to work again
without restrictions .. The problem is that after a few days it tells me again that the use
is restricted to five minutes and again I must perform all the steps again and so …
There will be some way that the changes are definitive or there is some additional step
to make this bypassing … Working with Windows 10
