@manontop Are you sure you're using my version of the script rather than the original one? I already changed /Helpers/TeamViewer_Desktop to /Helpers/TeamViewer_Assignment in my script.

Any ideas?

@manontop Use python 2.

And I've added a version check:

Hi, I tried to change ID, but when I start the script, the program crashes. Do you know how to fix?

I am not a coder, so i'm kind of lost here.

Any idea?

works from TV 15.17.6

It's so wonderful!!
Thank you😄

Works 15.18.5

Hi, I tried to change ID, but when I start the script, the program crashes. Do you know how to fix?

You need to run

xcode-select --install

first.

it works on 15.18.5 then it gets flagged by their system and kicks the person off. Do we need to downgrade?

I almost have to reset everytime after I connect to a different computer... is this normal? How did they detect the change

I keep getting permission denied running the script at root in terminal. Anyone? thanks!

You have to give it the permission to run first. sudo chmod +x script.py
Then you can try running it as root sudo ./script.py

Also you should look for an updated script, this is 1 year old and IDK if it still works.

Hi, sorry for disturbing you, but where I can find link for new script version?
Also when I try to use this script, I receive this error message:

/Users/arcus/.pyenv/versions/3.9.2/bin/python: can't find 'main' module in '/Users/arcus/Desktop/./'

Python version: Python 3.9.2 (default, Apr 18 2022, 12:51:47)

Thanks for reply in advance.

It works!! Thanks a lot. version: 15.36.6
