Technitium MAC Address Changer v6 Released!

Happy new year everyone!

What would be a great start to new year than release of Technitium MAC Address Changer v6?! So, just go to http://www.technitium.com/tmac/index.html and get started with the latest version!

Click here for more screenshots
Version 6 is completely re-written, incorporating lot of new techniques and features. Major feature being support for Internet Protocol v6, there are lot of other improvements such as user interface, to make the software easy to use with less clicks.

With lot of feedback from people all around the world, features like Automatic Update and Update Vendor List were added.

People who used command line parameters for previous version must verify their batch programs due to slight changes in the command line options by addition of IPv6 support.

And, as always, do keep your feedback coming. Any issue with the software that you find, just fire off an email with OS description and a screenshot of error message to support [at] technitium [dot] com.

    Hello,

    Happy new year!

    Just one question : how to enable the "Use 02 as first octet of MAC adress" in command line ?

    For an automatic script launched at startup to randomised your MAC adress, it can be very useful...

    Thanks for the comment. Its currently not available in command line, I somehow missed that feature in command line options. I will incorporate it for sure in coming days.

    Shreyas - Thanks for the update to a GREAT utility.

    For all those wanting a portable version for a USB device, install to one machine.
    Copy the \program files\tmac directory to your memory stick, then add the following 4 files from \windows\system32 to the TMAC directory now on your memory stick.
    COMDLG32.OCX
    MSCHRT20.OCX
    MSCOMCTL.OCX
    TABCTL32.OCX

    The application is now portable, and does not need to be installed on other computers.

    cheers....

    I will release the software later on with new version of Technitium Installer which will support portable installation. So, until then everyone will have to use the method you described.

      Just installed today and had the same problem, here is what worked for me.
      I will list all the steps for those less comfortable with computers.
      type 'cmd' in the Search bar in Win10 and then right click on 'Command Prompt' and click on Run as Administrator.
      Type in the following lines one after another and when finished restart the computer.
      Do this for each file that you get a 339 error on. I ended up having to do this with tabctl32.ocx and mscomctl.ocx but you may get errors for some other file such as comdlg32.ocx and mschrt20.ocx

      Commands as follows:

      cd\
      cd %systemroot%\syswow64
      regsvr32 /u [name of missing file]
      regsvr32 [name of missing file]
      exit

      Then restart the computer

      Hi Shreyas,

      I'm also suffering from the Subscript out of range error on Windows 7 64 bits. The interface causing the error is a Cisco VPN Adapter. The problem seems to be that when the interface is deactivated TMAC can't read its MAC address (or the interface doesn't yet have one). If the interface is active TMAC works fine, reads the MAC address and reports no error.

      Since I don't plan to change this interface with TMAC and this VPN is not always active, is there any way of ignoring this interface or silence the error.
      I've tried using the -s command line option but it doesn't silence that error.

      There is also the issue that Windows 7 always complains that the TMAC.exe has an Unknown Publisher. I know I can workaround it but altering UAC permissions, but it would be great if you could address this one too.

      Thanks a bunch for this great software.
      Regards,
      Simple

      Thanks for the feedback. I will have to do tests to find out the cause of the error. I am currently unable to reproduce the error.

      The "Unknown Publisher" that you see is due to TMAC.exe not being digitally signed. For the UAC to show proper publisher info, it will need me to purchase digital certificate for file signing which will cost quite a bit and will be a recurring cost too. So for now no digital signing possible.

      Can you email me a screenshot of the main software window to get some more details? Secondly, the tool just makes registry edits to change MAC address. The registry value is then used by windows drivers.

      You will need to register the MSCOMCTL.OCX file manually. Open cmd.exe as administrator and use command:

      regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\MSCOMCTL.OCX

      (Note: in case of 64bit windows the path will be C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX)

      reinstalled the program, registered MSCOMCTL.OCX using the command "regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx" which succeeded, but I still keep getting the error message as described by Nauris RimaskisRimovs.

      All I had to do was to unregister the mscomctl.ocx file using the command

      regsvr32 /u MSCOMCTL.OCX

      and then register it using

      regsvr32 MSCOMCTL.OCX

      After that I was able to launch the already installed program without the error message!

      Thanks for the feedback. The current version of TMAC is not in active development so wont be possible to fix any issues. There is however a plan to rewrite TMAC with latest .NET 5 which will fix most issues with the old version. There is no timeline for the new release though but should be available before end of year.

      Thanks for the feedback. The current version of TMAC is not in active development so wont be possible to fix any issues. There is however a plan to rewrite TMAC with latest .NET 5 which will fix most issues with the old version. There is no timeline for the new release.
