Machine code reset

If you want to use Cursor AI for free forever, you can bypass trial restrictions via "machine code reset". The following are detailed operating instructions.

Cursor AI machine code reset, achieve permanent free use strategy

If Cursor official discovers that a machine has been using its account for free for a long time, it will block the computer.

After testing, a device can only be bound up to 3 times. Cursor restricts the use of the device by recording and detecting machine codes, so deleting an account and logging in again or registering a new account cannot bypass the restrictions.

Solution

Generally, software that binds machine code or MAC address can be solved by changing machine code or forging MAC address. Currently, there are three methods that are feasible:

1. Delete the machineid file

• Windows: ~AppDataRoamingCursor

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor

2. Install the plug-in

• GitHub download: cursor-fake-machine plugin

3. Run Python scripts (recommended)

• GitHub download : Cursor machine code modification script

Run this script in a Python 3 environment to modify the machine code.

How to operate

Mac system

1. Download the mac_change_id.sh script

2. Open the terminal and enter the directory where the script is located

3. Add execution permissions:

    chmod +x mac_change_id.sh

4. Run the script:

• Use the randomly generated device ID:

   ./mac_change_id.sh

• Use a custom device ID (optional):

   ./mac_change_id.sh your_custom_id

Windows System

1. Download the win_change_id.bat script

2. Right-click the script and select "Run as administrator"

3. Follow the prompts to wait for the script to complete

This allows the Cursor machine code to be successfully modified, thereby bypassing device binding restrictions.
