Great!

Couple things.
Command shall be

sudo python3 TeamViewer-15-id-changer.py

for the latest macOS.

After the first run, when all goes well, you can just run TeamViewer, you don't need to restart the computer.

If you want to repeat this step, you need to restart computer as on 2nd run you will get the error

Error: can not patch file /Applications/TeamViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/TeamViewer
[Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Applications/TeamViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/TeamViewer'

After restart, all will work well.

hi, i tried the workaround but also after reboot I recieve the same error
Error: can not patch file /Applications/TeamViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/TeamViewer
[Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Applications/TeamViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/TeamViewer'
could you help me?

thanks

Hi,
I just tested the above and it still working on TV 15.45.3 (without reboot).

Make sure that TeamViewer is fully closed before running sudo python3 TeamViewer-15-id-changer-for-mac.py

% sudo python3 TeamViewer-15-id-changer-for-mac.py

Configs found:

/Users/test/library/preferences/com.teamviewer.teamviewer.preferences.plist
/Users/test/library/preferences/com.teamviewer.TeamViewer.plist
/Users/test/library/preferences/com.teamviewer.teamviewer.preferences.Machine.plist

These files will be DELETED permanently.
All TeamViewer settings will be lost

Press Enter to continue or CTR+C to abort...
Done.
PlatformDevice: xxxx
PlatformSerial: xxx
/Applications/TeamViewer.app/: replacing existing signature

ID changed sucessfully.
!!! Restart computer before using TeamViewer !!!!

the problem was due to SIP enabled. After disabled, it works.

thanks

Thanx for the script!

For those who also encounter the '[Errno 1] Operation not permitted:' error.
The following easy steps worked for me:

• close TeamViewer if opened
• open system preferences
• goto to: privacy & security > Full Disk Access
• turn on the access for the terminal app (add it if missing in the list)
• restart computer before using TeamViewer as stated in the script's instruction (not sure if rebooting is realy needed, but it doesn't hurt to do so)

I have successfully run the script by using python3, Terminal show "ID changed successfully". But after that, I opened app and the id teamviewer still unchanged ?

How can I fix (teamview Version: 15.41.8, python 3) :<
