Commercial use - Connection time out
Comments
-
For the second time my private account is flagged as commercial use.
The first time was in November 2019, after investigation, you qualified my account as personal. And this personal use is stil the case, the only thing changed is my location, which caused a different "from" ip adres, but my account and "to" ID is still the same.
After this second flag, connections are disconnected after one minute.
My already send resets are still not proccessed.
The customer support is a joke.Phone and ticket support isn't available and ander after emailing to support@teamviewer.com I got a reply you also discontinued email support.

Hello, I am using Team Viewer Free to help my elderly mother when she has quetions or problems with her computer, or needs help learning / remembering how to use different software. This is all I use it for. When we log off, we always get a message "This session was Free, but Free is only available for personal use. Buy user license here" or something like that. Is there a "FREE" user license or something I need to do? Is there a limit to how many "FREE" sessions we can do before being blocked?
Thanks, Dan

I have been having this problem as well. It has been going on for a couple of months, I do see any resolution to the issue being posted. I am looking for another program to access my mom's computer in another state.

I am having the Commercial Use Detected problem. I had the same problem many months ago and it was resolved and my TV was set back to free, now it has happened again. I submitted a ticket, but it was more than 7 days ago and still no one has contacted me nor has my TV been reset to free. Why is there no way to speak to anyone about this and it's so difficult to resolve??

Completely agree! I have been waiting for more than 7 days with NO response.

No company could be this incompetent. The simple fact is they want us free users to be **bleep**ed off and find something else while they still pretend they are free for non-commercial use.
Just look at the facts. this problem has been going on for years and there are close to 100 pages of contributions. And that doesn't count the posts that have been deleted like this one probably will be.

Which ever "Manager" who thought up this very sub-optimal scheme should perhaps be given another task...one much less damaging to Team Viewer.1

Hi,
I started a chat with TeamViewer Support regarding this error.
If you are not aware, TeamViewer *monitors* the network that you are conducting your Remote Control sessions on.
In my case, I was using TeamViewer on my employer's network to connect to my personal laptop for troubleshooting.
Even though the usage was personal, the network it was conducted on was commercial - and that, apparently, is what TeamViewer is focusing on. This is according to TeamViewer support agent, Angie.
So, if you are receiving the "commercial use detected" error and you're initiating the session over a business network, you'll either have to apply for an exemption or conduct your session on a public network.
A personal VPN may work to circumvent this detection, but I have not verified this.
Hope this helps.0 -
There are a lot of users that have been unjustifiably cut off. The question is how does TV know what commercial is or not? Very obviously TV does not know.0

Hello,
How do I apply to an exemption? I use TeamViewer to connect from my employer's network to my home network for browsing, music etc which is filtered out on the corporate network.
Cheers,
Alex

Here is Section B.3.4 of the EULA:
3.4.Scope of use for Free Version.
The use of the Free Version is solely permitted for the Customer’s own, private, non-commercial purposes (e.g. free computer support for a spouse/partner). The use of the Free Version for the exercise of the Customer’s own trade or profession or the use for purposes for which the Customer directly or indirectly receives compensation (e.g. team work with colleagues, free support provided to third parties which have bought software of the Customer) does not qualify as private use. End
It does not talk about the network, but about what is being done. It seems clear that TV is enforcing a different set of rules, or is taking the easy way out by using a simple-minded algorithm rather than an accurate determination of how TV is being used. Enforcement needs to match the EULA.

Hello,
I use my product to connect to my remote server that doesn't have a monitor.
I don't get paid for it, so free lincene seems to be a good thing.Recently, he still disconnects me after a few seconds and gets blocked for 5 minutes, and so all the time.
Earlier it worked without a problem.
At this point, I am forced to use other solutions that work much less well, because I can't afford to buy a license for the whole year.
Can you explain to me and give me more information.
Best Regards
Daria Wach

I have the same problem. My Android app says that "commercial use detected". Then it closes after few seconds, and I can't connect anymore. I can't use the software at all. And I'm not using Teamviewer commercially. This started some time ago.
I have't even used Teamviewer except occasionally, and not for commercial use. Now I have to seek for alternative softwares if there's no solution.

Hello, when connected to a remote computer, it throws me out after a few seconds, as it was suspected of commercial use. I have 5 devices connected: a personal computer, a personal smartphone, 2 parent computers (I help them sometimes on some issues), and a personal computer at work. I do not use team viewer for commercial purposes, please unlock my account

I've been using teamviewer free for years to help my friends, coworkers and my elderly parents. for the last 6 months or so, I've been getting the same Commercial Use error. Teamviewer support even looked into it and the deemed my account as free and reset it. Now , the first time of trying to use it when my parents are having a windows update problem, I can't use it again because of some new algorithm is messing things up for us all. I'm so perturbed right now, I'm so mad I can't take care of my mom.

I need to talk to a live representative to discuss the fact that I have never used nor have a need for commercial use but they have tagged me as a commercial user. However, they don't respond to the requested information I sent in to show I am not a commercial user. How do I contact someone at TV to discuss this?

It gets even crazier.
I posted earlier how TeamViewer monitors and detects the network that you are using TeamViewer on.
In my case, I was using TeamViewer on my company's network.
I discovered that my company's TeamViewer *Enterprise* license expired on the same day I started getting "corporate use detected" warnings for my personal TeamViewer sessions.
Once my company paid-the-bill and the Enterpise license was restored for my company's network, then *all* TeamViewer sessions, corporate and personal, were successful.
So, if you're receiving the warning messages about corporate use, or you see your sessions suddenly turn to "Free-to-use" but expired, check with the network admin and/or the finance department of the network you are surfing from.
Also, the email that TeamViewer sends for expiring Enterprise licenses gets flagged as spam - making it even more difficult to monitor.
Hope this helps0 -
I continue to get blocked from being able to connect to my PC from my Laptop. Teamviewer reason is I am using it for commercial use. This is not the case. I have tried to reach out to them on FaceBook and online. Nothing works.
I use my laptop (which is slower than dirt) to connect to my PC so I can browse the internet or update my budget. Really nothing more.
I refuse to pay teamviewer for what should be free for personal use. Any help would be great. I have already complete a form that was suggested to my from their FB and they still block me.
For the moment I use *bleep* to access my PC. At this point I should just go buy whatever I need to make my PC Wi-Fi compatable and be done with teamviewer all together.

Hello. I am a personal user. I am not a commercial user. I can't use it due to trial period error. Could you please help me?

I have sent a ticket for "commercial use detected", filled out the form and emailed it back in and still no response. Why does this take so long to resolve, and why can't anyone take the time to respond to tickets/forms/inquiries?? This process is insanely long!
