Pre-use

Install Homebrew then run this commands:

brew install pyenv
pyenv install 2.7.18
pyenv global 2.7.18

As pyenv and python2 (required) is installed in user folder (.pyenv), use following command to run

sudo .pyenv/versions/2.7.18/bin/python2 ~/TeamViewer-15-30-3-id-changer-for-mac.py

TeamViewer 15.35.7+

This script stop working with this method and TeamViewer 15.35.7 and newer.

Have a look at this Python 3 version by @STiXzoOR (fork here).

Just do:

sudo python3 TeamViewer-15-id-changer.py
@danielX337
Copy link

After many tryings with other / older scripts and furthere online recherching this script finally did it today - thanks!
