How to Change TeamViewer ID after cloning

Table of Contents

If you’ve cloned a machine that already has team viewer installed, the clone will have the same ID as the source machine.  Each machine needs it’s own unique ID.  To get the clone to pick up a new ID by deleting 2 registry keys, ClientIC and ClientID.

for 64 bit Windows 7 I found the key here…
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeTeamViewerVersionX
for 32 bit Windows 7 and XP the keys are here…
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARETeamViewerVersionX

Notes:
This won’t work on the source machine.  The calculation that determines the ID uses hardware identifiers which haven’t changed and TeamViewer will therefore produce the same ID as before.
