Temporary vs Permanent Spoofing

Published 2026-10-29

Both temporary and permanent spoofers change the hardware identifiers your PC reports, but they differ in one key way: what happens when you restart. This guide compares the two approaches so you can pick the one that fits how you play.

How a temporary spoof works

A temporary spoofer changes your hardware identifiers in memory for the current Windows session. The real identifiers are still on the hardware — the spoofer intercepts the calls that read them and returns different values.

When you restart Windows, the spoof is gone. The next boot sees your original hardware IDs. To play with spoofed identifiers again, you run the spoofer again. This cycle repeats every time you restart.

How a permanent spoof works

A permanent spoofer writes new identifier values into the system so they persist across restarts. After the first run, every boot reads the spoofed values. You do not need to run the spoofer again unless you want to change them.

The original identifiers are overwritten, so a restart does not bring them back. If you ever want the originals, you would need to restore them manually or use a tool that saves them first.

When to choose temporary

Temporary makes sense when you want control over when you are spoofed and when you are not. After a restart, your PC is back to its own identifiers with no leftover changes. This is useful for:

When to choose permanent

Permanent makes sense when you always want the spoofed identifiers and do not want to run a tool before every session. One press and it is done. This is useful for:

What they share

Both temporary and permanent spoofers at Superino include the same extras in one press: unlinking FiveM, Steam, Xbox and Rockstar accounts, removing the FiveM installation, and the optional system fixes. The only difference is whether the spoof survives a restart.

Questions.

Can I switch from temporary to permanent later?
Yes. They are separate products. You can hold both at the same time, and use whichever fits the situation.
Is permanent riskier than temporary?
The risk profile is the same — both change the same identifiers the same way. The only difference is persistence. Check the status board for the current detection state of each product.
Do I still need to unlink my accounts with a permanent spoof?
Yes. The spoof changes hardware IDs, but your FiveM, Steam and Rockstar accounts still carry their own association. Both products include the unlink step.
