Commercial use - Connection time out
Comments
-
I am not using it commercially. I use it to help family/friends every few months and mostly use it to connect to my own computers when I'm in other rooms! This is stupid and I will either need this fixed or I will find another solution.

Very strange and insulting. I'm going to setup VNC first thing when I go to university tomorrow. TeamViewer can go to **bleep**.
Mine just started saying I was "definitely" using it commercially today. I'm assuming soon it will be doing the 1 minute connection to me as well. This is really stupid for teamviewer to keep doing this to anyone who uses it with a VPN or uses it a lot around the house when they need it. I thought that was what this **bleep** software was made for!

I noticed that too a few days ago. Im an IT student from stuttgart in germany using the iOS app on my mobile to regulary check my home PC. The App caims to stop the session after 5 minutes (which would be sufficient for most I do), while in reality closing the connection after about 5-10 seconds forcing a long wait and on the next session closing again after few seconds.
Im running my gaming Teamspeak server at home, my astryphysics website which is a hobby of mine and got a mailserver on my NAS, which I had to save up for half a year to afford. Maybe those are indicators for the software to determine commercial usage; which is kinda stupid, since my Windows version is Win10Educational and its only being accessed from my mobile ever (rarely using my notebook). All 3 devices are registered as my own in the account and are logged in from the same public IP most of the time (when Im at home). It should be fairly easy to recognize them as having the same owner. I wonder who is responsible for the algorithm determining commercial usage. Funny fact is I was considering of applying for an internship at their place :-)
Initiallly I used my raspberry to open tunnels for remote desktop connections, since I couldnt access my home PC from the university network otherwise. The iOS app was like a savior, since it saved me the hassle of using my notebook or university PC for the task. Simply connecting from my mobile was much easier. Having to switch back to remote desktop connections, VNC and the like is kind of sad... but since I cannot afford 60€ a month as a student.

I am using Teamviewer for prive, but on one of my PC's I get a warning that I am suspected to use it commercially, which is not true.
How can I get rid of this suspection

I am getting a lot of message boxes claiming that I am useing TeamViewer in an commercial environment. I am not - I am a retired person and do not have clients or an office or any other way of using TeamViewer to earn myself or anyone else money. I use it to support my sister and to log in to my desktop upstairs so that I can access it from my netbook downstairs, which keeps my dog happy. I have no idea what it is about my computers or use that makes somebody think this is commercial use. I have tried filling in the form as they suggest. The request appeared to go into a black hole and not come out. The seven day interval they suggest seems to be a joke. Am I alone in thinking there is something wrong with their detection algorithmes? I am using Windows 10 home, and a NAS for photos and talking books and general data so that we can back the stuff up sensibly. No Microsoft or any other server exists - just a collection of machines in a home workgroup. I am also a bit concerned about privacy - what is Teamviewer looking at?

I have the same issue. I connect from my cell phone to my home. The only thing I can possibly think of is that a laptop on the account sometimes is used from a Hotel, but TeamViewer has never been used in that setting.

I have used TeamViewer for personal use since 2015 and now my account is showing up as an expired trial and I can't connect to my home computer! I've double checked and from what I've seen TeamViewer is still free for personal use. I uninstalled and reinstalled and checked again that I use this for Personal/Private use but I'm getting the same trial expired issue. I've even tried downloading older versions and same problem. ALTHOUGH when I go online to my online Management Console my account shows up as a free account!!! I put in a ticket for this to be adjusted but it said it can take 30 days to resolve.... so is there anything I can do to fix this or am I suspended from using my account for a month?
Thanks for any help anyone can give!

Same problem here. I'm suspected for commercial usage but I use TeamViewer for personal purposes only. They drop my connection in 5 minutes and this makes TeamViewer completely useless.

I negated the current issues being experienced with Teamviewer by uninstalling the application from all hosts.
I'm now using an alternative, called *bleep* - this works well for me although the control method takes a little getting used to.0 -
**Third Party Product** doesn't work at all in Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.1. It works fine with Arch but some of my friends I help use Mint...

Why my teamviewer suspected me as commercial use
0 -
Ok, that is news to me. It definitely works on Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa (systemd is an abomination and won't be installed by my good self as a matter of principle). Raspberry Pi clients which are systemd work fine as well. I'd be interested to know why it doesn't work on later versions of Mint...

I don't know. I installed it as a backup program on a friend's laptop, and one day, when I have to create remote connection for help, I decided to try it. It actually connects and I see the remote desktop but I have no mouse and keyboard input at all. In the Mint's software center there is review section and the only one review tells as almost the same - the application doesn't work on Linux Mint. That's why TeamViewr was a very good tool but times are changing...

The free version is not really for non-commercial users. It is intended to get you to join up. I was also a non-commercial user who got blocked suddenly before an important meeting. This basically forced me to pay for a license as I had no time to search for a free alternative.
Then when I did sign-up, their incredibly unfair renewal practices came into force. TeamViewer hid their practice of automatically renewing the license and taking money from people's bank account unless they give 28 days notice in the fine print at the bottom of the invoice. They neither told me this in the original e-mail or did they send me a renewal notice.
I found later that in their documentation that they say that they will send a renewal notice unless local laws do not allow it. This was untrue - actually they will not send a renewal notice unless forced to by local new laws.
In my case I paid for the license at Australian rate and in Australian dollars, and all my dealings with TeamViewer have been with the Australian office. Under Australian laws the renewal must be sent. But as I was going to be spending a lot of time in China, I put down an address in China.
Teamviewer then used the lack of Chinese laws not to send the renewal letter claiming I was a Chinese user even though they had happily forced me to pay Australian rates. When I raised these issues and the fact that I no longer use the product (which they can verify from their records) their only response is that they "cannot cancel the subscription".
TeamViewer has no interest in acting with integrity or dealing with customers fairly. Deal with this company at your own risk.
