Cursor Free Fix

A tool to patch Cursor's telemetry values (machine ID, MAC address, Windows SQM ID, device ID) to custom values. This script helps you customize your Cursor IDE instance by modifying the following identifiers:

• Machine ID: A unique identifier for your machine (random UUID by default)
• MAC Address: Your network interface's MAC address (random MAC by default)
• Windows SQM ID: Windows telemetry identifier (empty by default)
• Device ID: Device-specific identifier (random UUID by default)

The script automatically creates backups before making any changes and provides options to use either default or custom paths for the main.js file.
