    Don't forget to fill out the review form once you have uninstalled Teamviewer. Maybe that helps them realize they are not the only supplier of remote support tools.

    Well the one with V you need to know the IP right? Plus you need to setup Port forwarding etc. The A one you can autoconnect using some 'id' through firewalls with little to no configuration beyond installing the client

    I just did. Log in, go to edit profile and select ''delete account'' further down.

    Make sure you first uninstall from your PC in order to be able to place your comments on the ''why do you want to remove'' page.

    Totally agree. I would have been more fair to be honest about it and announce a stop on free accounts. That would have allowed free users to have the time to install alternatives. Now they just block some people who are depending on it, for example to help out their elderly parents with PC problems....Shame on you Teamviewer!

    You first install the V-server on the PC you want to control. Then, using the account you have set up on ''V'', you log in and allow this PC to be used by the viewers. The PC itself also needs a password in ""V".

    On the viewers you use the same log in to install the account, and a password for the PC to be addressed.

    I actually received another form per email to fill out and sign, scan and send back to them. Did anyone else experience that?

    Still waiting for about 2 weeks now.... 

    I have found alternatives, but teamviewer is still king. 

    A reason for teamviewer to keep their private tier alive is for one, that once you get used to using this privately, when you start new companies or get employed, you will probably buy their licens. I know I did the last 2 times I started companies years ago.

    Now I just want to provide support to family members and manage my devices as usual, but no dice...

    @da9el84 : yep, I did. I've submitted requests for all the TV ids I was connecting to (my computers, my mum's and my brothers). For one I received an email that it has been reset to free (but I don't know which one) and for another one I had to fill the form and never heard from them afterwards... But one day, without doing anything, lo and behold, it was working again!...

    You have to be very careful with dealing with TeamViewer. This company uses some very nasty tactics.

    I was using the free version of team viewer for private meetings and just before an important one I was told I had to upgrade to the paid version without warning (I am not a commercial user). The meeting was very important so I had no choice but to pay up.

    I then saw that the correct amount was taken out of my account so I didn't bother opening the invoice. That was a big mistake, as in the fine print in the invoice it says that the next year they will automatically renew the license unless 28 days notice is given. They did not mention that in the e-mail. Also, when it came time to renew they did not give any warning about the renewal and their 28 days notice and so suddenly I found hundreds of dollars taken from my account for a product which I no longer use.

    When I contacted support and explained that I no longer used TeamViewer their response was that the "invoice cannot be cancelled". That is an incredibly dishonest response. They don't have control over their own finances? 

    I have been completely cheated by this company - first to get me in and then with the renewal (which they increased the price on by $100 as well). I have been done for over $1,000 by Teamviewer. My only recourse is consumer affairs and social media. The good news is that I have plenty of time for that. I hope that no-one else gets **bleep** in the way that I have been.

    It doesn't care about the commercial ones either

  • I had signed up to use the personal version of teamviewer. Somehow, it is saying that I have a commercial version and the free trial has expired. Do I need to delete teamviewer from the affected computer and start over? I have no need for a commercial license.

  • Hi JackHK,

    where is the form to fill????

    I use Team Viewer for education. Why do I have a message?
    Your license has a maximum session duration.

    In a non-commercial version, it should not appear.

  • Hi,

    I have filled in the webform requesting resetting to home use three times now and made one call to support. Apparently these are meant to be sorted in a week. The first request was over a month ago and I haven't heard anything back. The agent said there was no record of anything being sent.

    Can somebody confirm whether TV sends an email acknowledging receipt of a request to reset an account to home use?

    Thanks,

    CK

    Everyone who really non-commercial, use the link above.

    You have to fill out a form and send it to teamviewer but for some reason they do not seem to care about personal users anymore by just not responding to them for months

    I strongly advise you not to move to the paid version. These guys are not to be trusted with your money. I moved to a paid subscription 12 months ago when they did this to me even though I was a provate used. They snuck in a condition buried at the bottom of the invoice that it would be automatically renewedk unless I gave 28 days notice. I had stopped using the product but suddenly found an increased subscription fee taken out of my bank account a year later even though I had not given specific permission for this to occur. When I approached them about this, they basically told me to get lost. Even when I tried to get them to not renew for next year it was a big problem.

    TeamViewer is like Hotel California - once you sign up you can never leave.

    If you are just using it for meetings there are other free products. I moved to one a while ago and also had fewer connection problems with it.

    It is intended to get you to move to the paid version. Don't do it. I did and then got tricked into renewing because of their onerous and concealled renewal practices. They took my money even though I was no longer using the product and refused to refund.
