Commercial use - Connection time out
Comments
-
Hello,
I have been using Team Viewer for personal use for years, and loved every bit of it.
but now, it is saying commercial use detected and won't let me log into my laptop at home.
I have had this issue before last year, and it was solved. and now it is happening again.
please can someone help.

It is getting really annoying,,,
I love team viewer. but I can't take the connection issues.
within the 1 minute intervals, every 10 minuts that you can connect, I ended up installing **third party product**.
It is not as slick as team viewer, but it works. and is free.
if they fix my account, I will go back to team viewer, but at the moment, it is unusable.

I have the same issue. I'm not using it commercially. How do I get them to fix my account?

I heard the fiscal numbers within TeamViewer are not doing so well. This is the result of the crazy action. I have used teamviewer for almost 9 years on my personal devices and today I got the same message. What a joke, $749 for a business use when I use it on 3 devices (my desktop, my laptop and my finance laptop.) Teamviewer did go public in biggest German tech IPO since dot-com boom on Sep. 25, 2019. Stock's are wavy for them.
*uninstalls TeamViewer and installs a better 3rd party app

The reason they're having financial issues is because of their bizarre pricing. There's nothing between free and $600/yr.
If they had a limited use free version (so many minutes use per month, or even per session), and a personal use version for around $50/yr, I imagine that a good portion of their current free user base would upgrade.
I switched to another remote utilities for Windows application, and while I'm well within their license terms for free usage, I'm strongly considering buying their license [removed as per Community Guidelines] because I actually really like the application. It seems better, faster, and more reliable than TeamViewer.
[Removed as per Community Guidelines] I can't justify those kind of $$$, particularly when support is so awful.
I understand that free users are a drain on their resources. A free user certainly isn't free to TeamViewer. But they should be trying to turn them into paying customers, not forcing them to look elsewhere.
In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.2 -
Greetings.
Today, I tried to connect to my PERSONAL computers AT HOME from my work computers, from my PERSONAL laptop via mobile hotspot AND from the app on my phone. I was DENIED several times and received an error message telling me that COMMERCIAL USE WAS DETECTED. And, I couldnt switch back and forth between devices. These folks want me to BUY A LICENSE to connect to devices ON MY ACCOUNT! Oh well...
I've been using Teamviewer for YEARS. Im going to a different provider now.
SEEYA! Wouldnt wanna be ya!
Oh yeah. I did call customer service and the level or "Customer Service" was appalling!Yeah...

I am strictly using TeamViewer privately to help my partner & friends with whatever PC-problems they have and to connect to my own home-PC to start queueing for WoW Classic.
Yet this problem has appeared just recently and it's preventing me from using this application.
35 dollars a month is a bit hefty considering my usage pattern...
Help?

I filled it in a month ago and still getting flagged. I service several elderly friends and my brother in a nursing home and they are all CONSTANTLY having small issues as none of them really know how to use a computer very well. I am not paid for any of my services and it is NOT commercial use. I have heard the wait can be up to 3 months or more for any reply from TV. Sad.

Ha! Instead of the moderator "removing the competitor link" from this message, how about removing the "commercial use" flag from everyone's free versions of TV instead?

Hi Josh - I've filled out the form TWICE now in that past 2 months and I'm still getting the message about suspected commercial use and bumped off my connection. I help several elderly people for free and my brother in a nursing home. NOT commercial! Please offer a REAL immediate solution to this problem. Thanks.

Hallo Community,
bei mir hat auch die kommerzielle Nutzung "zugeschlagen". Ich administriere einen einzelnen Rechner, meinen privaten. Auf den verbinde ich mich via App am Handy, Tablet oder einem anderen Rechner. Über das Formular wurde meine ID auf free resettet am 29.10.19, da ich Privatanwender bin. Leider kommt beim Zugriff auf den Rechner via App etc. immer noch "kommerzielle Nutzung festgestellt". Ich habe hier https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/TeamViewer-Allgemeine-Fragen-DE/Freeware/m-p/56888 gelesen das man sowohl die App als auch den Client neu installieren soll (deinstallieren mit löschen aller einstellungen hab ich gemacht) --> Immer noch "kommerzielle Nutzung" nach Neuinstallation und erneutem Zugriffsversuch.
Ausserdem steht hier: https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Knowledge-Base-DE/Weshalb-erscheint-Kommerzielle-Nutzung-vermutet-Kommerzielle/ta-p/53596#toc-hId-**Please do not post TeamViewer IDs**
"Außerdem sind Verbindungen auf Geräte, die als kommerziell markiert sind, nicht möglich. Dies gilt auch dann, wenn Ihr Gerät für den privaten Gebrauch zurückgesetzt wurde."
--> Habe ich einen Denkfehler ? Das würde ja bedeuten das ich von keinem Gerät auf dem versehentlich kommerzielle Nutzung festgestellt wurde, mehr auf meinen PC zugreifen kann, obwohl ich nur Privatnutzer bin ? Würde bedeuten ich müsste mir z.B. ein neues Handy kaufen um auf den PC zuzugreifen, weil das alte auf einer Blacklist steht ? Das kann doch nicht sein oder ?
Viele Grüße
Marcus

I keep getting this statement when trying to use the app. I'm connecting to my home PC from my iPad. I have complained previously but no response coming back to me at all. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

I am getting this too all of a sudden after years of free usage. It looks like TeamViewer is starting to charge their free users as a money grab scheme. If this doesn't get resolved, I'm going to look for another software

I submitted a form to have my computer reset more than 7 business days ago. I have yet to hear anything back by email. Is there a way to get someone to look into it and tell me how long I need to wait. I use it on my home computer and my mobile. So your detection value is a little wonky.

Hello.
Why am I getting the message "comercial use" if I only use it for my personal computers?
Thank you.

Why are you still using TV if there is better out there?

Have a look at **Third Party Product**. I might as well get flagged or message will get deleted by admin.

I have 6 devices, 2 desktop iMac's, 2 Macbooks, and 2 or 3 iOS devices for remote access. My 2nd iMac is a newer unit late - 2014 iMac 5k macos Catalina; and recently added an iPhone 11 and iPad 5 for remote access when away in Dominican Republic, my wife's country and working with immigration for some time. Recently tried to access my iMac 5k, which is the Lead or Host computer and now get that msg many here are getting, suspect commercial use, or sometime detect commercial use, with an OK or More Info botton, which takes you to a request to pay **Please do not Discuss Price**. Yikes! I have been using TV since 2012 I think, and never an issue; but now, and only when trying to access my newer iMac 5k with macos Catalina do I get the msg. I can connect with the older mid-2011 iMac using Sierra 10.12.6, and eith macbooks with never and issue. I have filled out the form online so TeamViewer can access my setup, and my long history with them as a personal use only. I was surprised to see so many have the same issue; and, hoping we can all find a fix, so, we may use TV once again. I desperately needed a few documents on the iMac 5k, which I use mostly; but, could not access long enough to find the documents needed for immigration in Santo Domingo for my wife's visa to come to America. I have heard nothing from TV folks, and just tried to call them and specifically asks if you are a free personal user, and says come here then hangs up on you. Hmmmm... Well, it is free, but of no use currently for us folks with this msg and blocking our connecting remotely. This really ended up hurting us badly this time; and, the trip to Santiago and bus ride to the capital Santo Domingo US Embassy was wasted. In that country documents for ID, birth certificates have to certified every 90 days!!! Not like here good for life. Crazy... But, this must have evolved either for having to constantly going to numerous locations and waiting in hot weather with a huge crowd of people for your number to be called, then get in a line, which goes to several other lines, having to pay 300 - 800 pesos at each. That is not a lot, as the exchange rate is 55 pesos to the dollar. But, it does add up; and, the trip there and back is expensive, requiring numerous trips. I have no business, not working and retired. I do not understand how their system could flag me as suspect for commercial use? Does anyone know if there is some setting or some limit or some type of use that one should not engage in? Has anyone received a response with any type of explanation? I tried a chat session here just now, but ended up talking to myself, although it did allow me to send my messages. Just no one eve responded, nor gave any indication what happened with all my sent messages. Hopefully, someone will chime in and assist me. [removed per Community Guidelines] I did use **Third Party Product** also some years ago until they went completely commercial. I do not think any of us here could afford, or justify **Please Do Not Discuss Price** to occasionally connect with your remote computer for files needed elsewhere a few times a year. I just like to connect and see that all is working, so, when that very much needed moment comes, like it did recently, all goes well, and quickly. But, I got cut off intially, then completely blocked, saying must wait some specified length of time. That does not work when at the US Embassy for your interview and they need a document which you may send by email to them; but, I could not do it at that critical moment. Now, must start over in the process. I have never been so dismayed by a setup that I tried out so many times and never a problem. Then, when the time came.... Blocked! Please give a reply if anyone has some knowledge of what one may do, or not do so this message and blocking does not get flagged. Best, Seth Thomas

At the end of September, I filled out the form for one of my laptops in my home that I was getting the "Commercial use detected..." message for and TeamViewer had it fixed one week later. I then filled out the form for the TeamViewer app that is on my phone to get freed up for personal use on October 11th, well over a month agp, and I am still getting the "Commercial use detected..." message - So, that means they have overlooked my request or they decided that they believe it is being commercially used - I will never know because they haven't sent me an email about it. They did send me an email that my laptop had been freed up for personal use over a month ago though a week after I filled out the form for it. So, I went ahead and filled out another form for my phone and maybe they will take care of it this time?
