How do we in a corporate environment block our users from using teamviewer without login/license, so none of our users CAN violate commercial use licensing.
Example by a GPO setting or other Administrative Configuration
/Gert
GPO to block the app is definitely the easy solution if you can apply it to an OU group that will never need licensed Teamviewer access.
Sorry I did not make myself clear.
One machine, multiple possible OS users.
How can we get Teamviewer to BLOCK Users that do not login with a Teamviewer Corporate Account, from creating session to remote control an other machine, as this would violate Teamviewer License Agreements.

Free license (non-commercial use only) - XXXX
vs
Unlicensed user sign into the one machine. Teamviewer client will want a sign in, or block usage in corporate setting.
Teamviewer does not demand sign in, so not correct.
Teamviewer does not at once block corporate usage per user, it MAY do this after some usage, and until then our "end-user" receiving help see Pop-up's that make them report concerns to our helpdesk, and therefor our security/legal team.
A very poor design, why does it not block possible remote control to machine part of a Domain, or give a option on the "host" side to set an Administrative Setting that signal part of corporate environment, Licensed session only.
Now our supporters have a Teamviewer Corporate Account, sometimes some of them just forget to login, and this create a lot of noise, that we want to prevent.
Maybe you should go back to @JeanK recommendation to use the Whitelist Registry. Sounds like a viable solution to me. I based my answer from our environment. If my users are not signed in, they have an issue trying to remote to our domain devices. If it didn't do that, people would use the free option all the time. I know I would. ;D
Hello @GertJ,
I am sharing here a thread where I answered this question a few weeks ago:
Master Whitelist registry
Let me know if this has helped!
All the best,

Multiple user accounts on the same machine, and only some of these users have licensed Teamviewer accounts? If I'm understanding your scenario correctly, I think Teamviewer will take care of itself.
Licensed user signs into the one machine, and will need to sign into the Teamviewer client with his credentials. Full access to the software.
It should be easy enough to test though. Sign out, and try to connect to another user's ID.
