Hello all,

I recently installed 10.6.2 on my PC using the retail version + myHack RC5. Everything works great except TeamViewer which refuses to connect to it's servers and thus it's unusable with any computer outside the home network.

A very polite email to TeamViewer support was answered with a "Buzz off, you don't have an original Mac!" email.

So can anybody here help solving this problem. Anybody run into it and found a way around it?

I had the exact same problem. Customer support said I didn't have an original Mac and asked if I had a meaningful serial on my Mac.

[Ender Wiggin]

As far as I can determine, the software is checking or using the serial number of the mac in order to connect to the server. And since the one in my box is "SOMESRLNMBR"...

Can this thing be changed somehow?

[tha_toadman]

Ahh. That explains it! I encountered the same thing recently with that software as well.

I'm thinking that an SMBIOS file could solve that.

I would Reply Email them back and say F* YOU!

By faking a serial number (which makes the hack looking more like a real deal) in SMBIOS, I can use TeamViewer just fine.

[Espionage724]

Mine works fine.

fakesmc 2.5 with a default smbios.plist from latest chameleon untouched

I solved this problem... Also me had te problem: "Access to the teamviewer server has been denied". To solve this annoying problem, I've installed the last Chameleon, and placed smbios.plist in the Folder Extra .. Remember to change the SMserial string into the smbios file with a random one!!!
sorry for my bad english, but if you need an help I can help you

How about faking serial number?

well just look into the smbios.plist Hermann88 provided and copy/paste the serial into yours, then you do not have to figure it out by yourself, that's what he provided it for ..  

I dare say we are talking about this key here, right?

<key>SMserial</key>
<string>W88033FKY51</string>

and not

<key>SMmemserial</key>
<string>100000000</string>

I placed the smbios.plist on my Extra folder and still have the same error.

I also changed the serial.

Anyone willing to add a more detailed explanation on how to get this done?

Appreaciate your help in advanced!

I tried a different smbios.plist and works like a charm now.

Thanks!
