Linux headless server: Unable to add this device to your account.

I followed the instructions to install TV on my headless Linux server running under Centos 7
The installation went fine.
I then ran: “teamviewer setup” as recommended, gave my credentials, confirmed the server as a trusted device, but at the last steps it fails and tells me:

"Unable to add this device to your account. Please contact support@teamviewer.com if the problem persists.”

I see the device in my list of computers, but if I try to open a connection it asks me to write the password displayed on the remote computer, which I cannot do since it is a headless server…

Any idea what the problem can be?

    I just went a little bit further: using "teamviewer passwd" i could set up a password. Now I can login but I get stuck at the "Starting remote session. Have a great session!" window, and it never opens the session…
