Where does one find this PDF, and how did you send it to them? Via email?

I use teamviewer for personal use only on several devices. I use a lot of devices, I change a lot of devices, I do OS reinstalls frequently. I don't know what triggered this, but my personal use has been completely blocked due to false detection. I have done nothing wrong, and have kept to the license agreement - to completely block my access without review or verification is completely unfair and unprofessional!
This has completely thrown a wrench into my personal use. Perhaps this isn't my livlihood or costing me financially due to it being personal use, but that doesn't make this any less important to me!
The company I work for does use teamviewer commercially, but that is completely separate, and I have taken every effort to make sure those uses are completely separate. My corporate login is only used on company equipment, and I only ever use company equipment with my company login to conduct work. My personal account is only used on personal equipment. The two enivornments stay completely separated. I do not know if this has played a role, but I welcome any review of my equipment to verify that my personal account is strictly for personal use.
However, I've found no way to resolve this situation. I've submitted a form, but there is no response on it. I call ,but there is no option for help for personal accounts. I went through to pay support, they refused to talk to me and told me I have to wait weeks for review.
To completely cut my support for unfounded accusations and make me go to the effort to submit a form and wait with all use completely restricted for a service I've come to rely on for my home personal use is completely unfair and unreasonable!
Can anyone recommend methods to quickly resolve this issue?

It connects for a few seconds and then tells me that I need to buy a license but I'm using the free version for personal use only. Not for business use.

I have been using TeamViewer to connect from my Windows 10 computer to my Raspberry Pi 4 but recently when I started the connection it said something like this "Trail period has expired, request longer trial period". When I clicked the Request longer trial period it wanted me to fill out business mail and such, but I don't have any business so I am kind of lost, is TeamViewer free for non-commercial use?

I have been cleared for personal use but now find that I am auto logged out after a few minutes of use, dispite being told I am back to normal. Can this be fixed somehow - it's really annoying!
Secondly I keep being asked to update to latest but when I do the update check it always says I already have the latest. Whats the problem I wonder?
I am on W10 remote viewing a WXP netbook.

Im getting the same thing. i am a personal user and have been for years. Now all of a sudden im getting booted after 5 minutes. **bleep** !! Maybe they think i am a business because of my OLD email i am using. if that is the case how do i change my email to my current one.
This is unfair to just boot people like this.. and give them NO warning. After Teamviewer boots you off it says " thank you for playing fair" what about Teamview they are NOT PLAYING FAIR!!

Dear sir I would like to state that my TeamViewer account is suspected of being commercial, however I only use it for home use access. I use it very rarely. 1-2 times a month for just a few minutes. Waiting for Your help. Thanks!

I have been a free Teamviewer user for several years. Starting last week, I would get the following message when trying to connect to another device:
"Thank you for using Teamviewer! We appreciate your interest, but our software must be licensed for professional work. Please follow the button to purchase a license to continue."
It would still log me into the remote device, but log me out after about a minute.
I've had an issue in the past with being mistakenly detected as "commercial," so I submitted one of those Personal Use forms to Teamviewer. They replied relatively quickly and confirmed that they reset my ID. Since then, however, I now get a different message and am not able to log into a remote device at all.
"We are sorry for the interuption. Your connection has been blocked because of very high activity level."
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Teamviewer, but the second message/issue persists.
Can someone please tell me what I should do to fix this?
Thanks,
Mike

Same problem here! Trying to use TV on my personal Machine at home and it has suspected me for commercial use and now I am unable to stay connected to my machine for more than a few seconds. This is very frustrating, and I am considering moving to a different provider for remote access if this is not resolved soon. This is not the first time this has happened.

Same problem here. Not the first time it has happened.
Thinking of trying other solutions now.

Hi @lasseb7,
Thank you for your post and welcome to our community.
TeamViewer is free for personal use, for commercial use a license is required. The reason why you receive this message is the option of Company/Commercial use or Both of the above was chosen upon installation to classify the intended usage. You can find all information regarding this topic here: Why do I see TeamViewer trial - 'Your trial period has expired'?
I hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Fiona

Cannot connect to another PC from this laptop using TeamViewer and a free account.
Have already submitted declarations of personal use and received emails that these IDs have been reset, but still getting both of the offending messages.
It's quite absurd really, as a few attempts per day to connecct qualifies as "very high activity"?Only started recently, so I suspect some change was made.

Using TV for personal use only. Been using for a long time with not problem. Today started getting:
Connection blocked after timeout
Your license limits the maximum session duration to a prarter....."

Good afternoon, I have a personal free account and it keeps "timing out" after only being logged in for a few seconds. I log into my sister's computer everyday to check her high school work online and not it doesnt allow me to be in there for more than a few seconds. whats going on?

I use TeamViewer for exactly two reasons: to help my isolated, elderly mother with computer problems, and to log in to computers at my university to do coursework. At no point have I used TV commercially, and do not receive compensation for activities done while using TV. I am studying from home, 2,400 miles from my mother and 500 miles from my university, and without TeamViewer, I cannot do any of the things I need to to stay productive during the global pandemic.
I've tried filling out the online form affirming that I do not use TV commercially, but the response was that they couldn't verify my claim and that I need to print a form, sign it, and send it to them. I do not have a printer. What can I do, aside from look for alternative software?

I sent my pdf form in and I still cannot get connected to my parents and other family workstations.
As an aside when you scan into a pdf on a Brother device it saves it with an upper case file extension of .PDF. The Teamviewer website incorrectly rejects the file upload because of case.
The message board also incorrectly detects "message flooding" after correcting errors.

Same problem. No changes in my configuration of laptop on ethernet to desktop to show photos. Both versions of Teamviewer are the latest and both say Free License to me.
After about 30 seconds, there is a timeout error and the sessions closes, It puts up a new screen with a woman frowning saying to buy a license. The log file seems to close the connection at:

Even after all 3 of my IDs getting "Reset" for personal use I still get this message.
I have already gone through the reset management pdf and they sent back that I was good for private use.
And my session only lasts about 1 minute. What do I need to do to show that I am only using this program within my network and not for work?

Greetings,
I just started receiving this message, subject line, when I connect to a remote computer, my Aunt. I get disconnected almost immediately and then when I try to reconnect this message pops up. I am using the free license since I only help out a couple people who need assistance every now and then.
I can't find any instance of this message in the knowlege base, unless i'm just a poor searcher. Anyone have any ideas?
Complete message: Connection blocked after timeout. Your license limits the maximum session duration to a partner, immediate reconnects are blocked. Please try later or upgrade your license. Connections will be blocked until XX:XX.
thanks,
Words

Does TeamViewer ever respond here? I see thousands of us having the same issue, but no responce on how to fix their error. I went through the paperwork and got the email confirmation of private usage, but still get timed out after 30 seconds. I envy those of you that last 5 minutes.

I'm in the same boat. I have 2 computers, my 3 kids have 4 computers, my mom and my dad, and a couple friends in Arizona...and I've been using it for years and now all of a sudden it says "trial expired" ...but I clearly have the free version installed. So what's going on all of a sudden?

I only have this problem on my laptop. I usually connect with no problem, but suddenly I am getting blocked. No messsage to inform me I was blocked

Mine keeps saying
"WE ARE SORRY FOR INTERRUPTION! | Your connection has been blocked because of very high activity level. If this activity level is intentional, please subscribe to a license plan to continue the usage."
Which makes no sense as I hardly ever connect to my computers. Although I do sometimes leave the connection open, especially on my NAS, because why not? My computer is beyond capable of handling an always open TV connection and not disrupt anything else I am doing on the computer including gaming.
I have filled out the PDF three times now and submitted it. Each time I get an email telling me they reset my account back to personal/private use, but I get that message above immediately when I try to connect to one of the remote computers of mine.

I've restarted my computer. I have read through the knowledge base. I tried submitting a ticket, but it just brings me back to the knowledge base. All my computers are in the same house. I would just like to access my emails and documents that reside on my desktop, while I'm in the kitchen or bedroom.

I have the same issue. I got the email saying it was reset but nothing I do will fix the issue.

I use TeamViewer on my home computers. These are the computers my Wife, kids and I use for entertainment and school. I have an IT background, so I am the one who fixes issues for the family computers. Today, my 13yo daughter called from a friend's house. They wanted to watch a movie on Amazon Prime. Since I do not give our kids our password, for good reason, I tried to log in to her computer, via TeamViewer, to type in the password for her. Instead, I got a message, “We are sorry for the interruption. Your connection has been blocked because of very high activity level.”
I have been using TeamVeiwer for a long, long time, at least 14 years. I have always used it at home, non-comercially and have used it commercially, years ago, through a company I worked for that had their own account.
I am perplexed as to how I have somehow been deemed “high activity” since, in the past 6 months, I have maybe used it a dozen times, and the last time was several days ago, logging into my 8yo’s computer to set up his browser for school. How am I highly active? Is it because I didn’t set up separate accounts on all of our computers? I just don’t understand.1 -
I don't have this exact issue. I have a issue that I have been blocked, but not for commercial, instead, for high activity, what ever that means. I posted about it on the board, but I don't understand, I uses it once in a while on my home computers, maybe a dozen times in the past 6 months.
