Linux instructions:

#use ifconfig to determine your wlan interface and use below to set random and burned in

sudo ifconfig wlp2s0 down sudo apt -y install macchanger sudo macchanger -r -b wlp2s0 sudo ifconfig wlp2s0 up rm -rf ~/.anydesk sudo apt autopurge anydesk -y sudo apt -y install anydesk

#save to /sbin/resetanydesk then chmod +x /sbin/resetanydesk and run resetanydesk

This will wipe your settings and hosts, if you want to save them: mv ~/.anydesk ~/.anydesk.old

I believe this no longer works, Im not on a wlan but on ethernet, not sure if that makes a difference though, Anydevk v7.1.0-1

#use ifconfig to determine your wlan interface and use below to set random and permanent Replace your-interface-from-ifconfig with your interface name usually wlp3s0 wlan0, wlp0s0, etc.

ifconfig sudo ifconfig your-interface-from-ifconfig down sudo apt -y install macchanger sudo macchanger -r -b your-interface-from-ifconfig sudo ifconfig your-interface-from-ifconfig up rm -rf ~/.anydesk sudo apt autopurge anydesk -y sudo apt -y install anydesk

still works, but i did with my wired connection ensp2n0

Linux instructions:
Open terminal

#use ifconfig to determine your wlan interface and use below to set random and permanent 
Replace your-interface-from-ifconfig with your interface name usually wlp3s0 wlan0, wlp0s0, etc.

ifconfig 
sudo ifconfig your-interface-from-ifconfig down
sudo apt -y install macchanger
sudo macchanger -r -b your-interface-from-ifconfig
sudo ifconfig your-interface-from-ifconfig up
rm -rf ~/.anydesk
sudo apt autopurge anydesk -y
sudo apt -y install anydesk

To make a shortcut to the script, sudo pico /sbin/resetanydesk and paste code above. change the wlan interface and save to /sbin/resetanydesk by pressing ctrl +o in pico then ctrl +x to exit, then run chmod +x /sbin/resetanydesk and run resetanydesk
MacOS:
Quit Anydesk Remove Anydesk from Applications folder
Open terminal type:

mv ~/.anydesk ~/.anydesk.old
rm -rf ~/.anydesk

sudo sh -c "curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shilch/macchanger/master/macchanger.sh > /usr/local/bin/macchanger && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/macchanger"

route -n get default | grep interface

sudo macchanger -r - p your-interface-name-from-previous-step

Download, install and Start Any desk (if it shows no id or the id is 0) then do a Logout from your MacOS user
Login again and start Anydesk
to revert changes rm -rf ~/.anydesk mv ~/.anydesk.old ~/.anydesk

it does not work on MacOS. The ID was changed but still get the license notification.

Pinging you also as you mentioned some linux support in your comment :), this seems to no longer work as per my above comment

Goes into endless loop:

`[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.`
