Installing Team Viewer on corporate laptop to access my home computer

tmp

Hi there,

I was thinking about installing team viewer on the machine I got from my work, so that I can from time to time log in to my home machine when I want to do something on it while at work. I consider this being a personal use case, but I am not sure if it is the correct interpretation. I would be glad to find that out and be sure before I install it. What do you think?

Hi,

this is from TeamViewer website:

Example of direct payment:

• a customer pays you for providing support 

Examples of indirect payments:

• a software company sells a software product for which it offers free support via TeamViewer
• teamwork among colleagues within a company
• use in associations and non-profit organizations 
• access to a company computer for work-related activities

In the above-mentioned cases for indirect payment, TeamViewer is used for creating an added value, the payment takes place indirectly through salaries or a combination of sales/support activities.

So how exactly is the current case a "typical use case for commercial usage as it is a connection from your work computer."? Note the fouerth line in the indirect payments example: "access to a company computer for work-related activities"

He is using Teamviewer to work on his personal projects in his home PC. So it does not seem to me like a commercial use case at all.

So please TeamViewer, explain.
