Commercial use - Connection time out
Comments

I am getting sick of this commercial use **bleep**.
I have six of my PCs at home on TeamViewer. They are at home, all run Windows 10 Home or Pro, and connect to my router on FiOS. I have only used Teamviewer for personal use. Yet I keep getting this **bleep** about commercial use. Why the heck do they keep saying that when I have always used it for personal use. What **bleep** thinks I'm using it for commercial use?

Yeah - I also just switched to “third party product “.
Very poor decision by Teamviewer to start this fake detecttion of commercial use.
Thanks. I'll need to look at “third party product “. At this point almost anything would be better than TeamViewer. Since they have no clue how to properly identify commercial use.
All my use has been personal use, from my personal PCs. Nothing they have in their FAQ about commercial use applies to me. Yet they keep erroneously saying I'm using Teamviewer commercially. Hopefully “third party product “ has people programming their software that actually know what they are doing.1 -
A friend of mine found this link, I just filled out the form so we will see if it works..

Hello,
I've been using TeamViewer for years to check my personal emails when I'm on holidays and away from my desktop.
But for whatever reason today my TeamViewer keeps disconnecting after a little bit and tells me that this session was sponsored by teamviewer.com. Then it won't let me connect again for a few minutes. I think that it thinks I am using it commercially?
But I have a personal license already. I really don't know what to do?
Can you please help?
Thank you!

Terrible rollout of this commercial use police state. Too bad you did not see how **bleep** this would turn out for your personal use support base. **Third Party Product** at [removed per Community Guidelines] is looking pretty good to me right now.

Posted here a few days ago saying I had been falsely accussed of commercial use. Have now switched to another solution and delted my TeamViewer account.
I can't understand why people try to stick with them when it takes days or weeks to get your accounts reinstated. Life is too short - move on -:)

There are plenty, forum rules prevents from explicitly name them, just use your favorite search engine, looking for Teamviewer plus alternative(s)1

Tried to post this a moment ago and got an error, so am repeating...
A lot of folks here are talking about *third party product * I just tried that one and two immediate negatives: 1. Using a tablet to access a PC in another room in my house, which was my main TV use, there seems to be no way to set the PC to automatically accept the connection request from the tablet. I have to go into the PC room and accept the connection, which defeats the purpose of having remote access. 2. I have to move the PC's cursor on the tablet's screen, as if I were at the PC using the mouse. I can't, on either input setting on the tablet side, directly click on the PC's windows and buttons from the tablet. There doesn't seem to be any setting addressing this on the PC side at all. Both these issues are deal breakers. Won't be using the software mentioned above.0 -
hey, i only use teamviewer to access a old laptop that i use to control a 3d printer because the screen is broken, and i installed win server on it, i though that will help because even new its already an underpower machine, after ~1 month using without problems now i recived commercial use detected mensage and an 5 min limit usage, there is anyway to solve it or, i will need to pay?
[EDIT]: i though reinstalling windows 7 or linux, but without a screen i cant access the boot menu.

I'm in the same boat, not sure why this is happening... ugh!
somebody needs to revist their code to make sure things are checked!

No, my problem has not been solved yet.

@GromitD90 In my case it was because my mother's PC is 8,500 miles from my PC. I can't remember if they were promising seven days or 30 days back when I filed the form. After 33 days and a reminder I got unlocked and that was before I was able to visit my mom and install something else. Now, I still use TV but I have a backup installed in case I lose access again. I am starting to be flagged again but I've narrowed to down to the PC attached to my television (I would have writen TV but for the chance of confusion.)

I have 2 PC with setted up unattended access, all added to my account, and 2 or 3 portable clients (notebook, work and mobile). I always login to account and connect throught computers and contacts tab. I do this about 5 years. About a year ago TV start annoing me with commertial using. And now any second connection it says me about commersial usage and breaks connection. Version 14 have no a dialog to report false positive commersial usage.

got same mail from them, guess they massivly enforcing any use to buy their license. TV is dead for me, looking to delete all my account and reaching support or submitting support ticket ends in a circle by leading to this community. cheers up TV this is how you satisfy your free usage customer.

Thanks god I am not the only person with this mess. I believe TV enforces their license models heavily. So pursuing customers to pay for the "free of charge" service is great in perspective to the ROI of their sale departments.
for me, TV is dead and deleted on all my "potential" customers i support in my leisure time as business pro *jokeoff* thanks for being 5 years with TV and a usage of 12 times a year, which indicates me as professional user while i randomly connect to a mobile phone support my family in certain android related tasks!!!! But yes you hang off on me. All people around me I highly recommend to avoid using you. this literally **bleep** me off.

Same here! I use to connect to the same room desktop from my tablet and now it says commercial use detected and states it gives me only 5 minutes but disconnects in less than 2! im actually using non commercial teamviewer for almost 10 years!!! but now im also dissapointed and i cant record the session when im using teamviewer...

Aftet many years of using Team Viewer somehow now believes I am a commercial user and blocked/ limited my access to 5 minutes. I have never received any compensation as I only use Team Viewr for person reasons.

Same situation as you (managing my mom's computer, though she's only 400 miles away.) Virtually ALL my other TV uses were room-to-room inside my house as I have two computers that are, more or less, special use as a DVR in a small living room and as an audio playback/editor for a small music area I have. Both have media servers to allow playback of recorded video/audio over other televisions/PCs/tablets in our house. Neither are fired up regularly except for weekly anti-virus/OS updates, AND both are connected to televisions as monitors. MY transgression as far as TV is concerned is likely logging onto my main PC at home from a doctor's waiting room over their guest WiFi.

I haven't had my "commercial use" connection last more than 10-15 SECONDS. Like another poster on this thread, IF/IF I get unblocked again (this CU **bleep** happened about a year ago too), I'm going to install a backup remote control app on my home PCs/tablets/phones, and on my mom's computer some 400 miles away.

I also have the same problem:(0

I had Posted this Back in May.
but once again, I'm flagged for Comercial use, which I am not.
but here is the Link to the FORM you must Submit...
https://www.teamviewer.com/en/support/commercial-use-suspected/
It took me a long time to find it, I hope it might help someone else.
Takes a few days to a week, and I did NOT receive any kind of response, it just started working again...
That's how I knew it was addressed.

Since the latest version of Teamviewer (14.4.2669 on Windows 10 and 14.4.208 CL on Android 5.0), I am constantly recieving this message during login followed by an automatic shutdown with the message shown above. I have been using this product for years as a private user with no commercial use. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated.

I am experiencing the same behavior recently. And also have never used TeamViewer for other than my personal use.

OK, it's been about a week now for me, but I have decided to use another product which is actually better. Can't say more, since these TV censors this message board pretty heavily.
For what it's worth, there is a form:
https://www.teamviewer.com/en/support/commercial-use-suspected/
which you can fill out to protest their decision. There's no hint that this will work, but it's worth a try if you're not in a hurry. The field "Affected TeamViewer ID" is looking for the numeric TV id of one of your systems, so ### ### ###, three groups of three digits separated by spaces. This totally makes no sense, since I have system A and system B. Both A and B are associated with my same TV login, they mainly talk to each other, and both are blocked. I submitted the form for only system A, heeding warnings on the form that "sending multiple requests will prolong the process". So we'll see if either one gets unblocked. This is what we call in English a "moot point", something which may be of interest for academic debate, but has no impact in what others might call the "real world".

I do not use the program for commercial use, I go for a few minutes, but I have limited access, why?

I can understand a nag message when their system false-positives a commercial use when there isn't one, but to tell me I can't connect to my house for 5-7-10 minutes because they as a company are suddenly all holy and mighty - meanwhile I'm still waiting on day 5 to hear back on them fixing this **bleep** commercial use thing has now reached totally unacceptable. The workplace I manage will now be obtaining new remote software AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, like, seeing as this blocking happened at 3am and I had to VPN my way in (my just-in-case route), this morning when I get in there, and no longer renewing any license with the company now here forward because of the way I have been treated. Their overzealousness, greed, and genuine lack of concern has now cost them a real paying contract. I'm still very unhappy in the ultimate of sense of the word that NO ONE THERE HAS been able tell me what the **bleep** I did to make them think that my junk recycled notebooks with the screens open and webcams aimed at a few places in my house, are commercial. I mean... they have the password, they can go in and see kitty if they want - if he's on his tree anyways...
Oh, yeah, and the 500 character count limit - not mentioned anywhere else on the feedback mechanism of the client software, - presenting me with a very irritating message that I got after I typed all of it in nicely was a wonderful bonus. Goody. That's how to stick it to those complainers...
