    Every 30 seconds the connection is blocked and I get the following error:

    "IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO ESTABLISH THE CONNECTION CONNECTION BECAUSE THE TERM HAS EXPIRED YOUR LICENSE LIMITS THE MAXIMUM LENGTH OF THE SESSION AND BLOCKS IMMEDIATE RECONNECTION. PLEASE TRY LATER OR UPDATE YOUR LICENSE. THE CONNECTIONS TO THIS PARTNER WILL BE BLOCKED UNTIL (..) "

    And the connection lasts less than a minute. What's going on? Is something going to be done with this problem?

  • In my case, asking for commercial reset It didn't fix the problem. Wonderful.

    If they had a reasonable priced option for domestic users, I would be happy to pay for it.

    @Thiersee

    so you are telling me i cannot use different account from the same laptop ? i'm a free lance so i have MY laptop and i use it for both commercial and private connection as i think any other free lance do.

    I was always sure, and it was right until few days ago, the differences between commercial user and private was given by the account - that should be licensed- not by hardware.

    What a strange decision this point me to change product if there is no other way to have both funcions on the same laptop; how about using a windows 10 virtual machine for commercial TV use ?

    HI Paulus, For Home Office I generally recommend the Remote Access license that includes all features needed in a typical Home Office scenario:

    However, in this license connections to mobile devices are not included.

    My teamviewer use is non-commercial only.

    Since last Friday my sessions timeout within a minute with:

    followed by:

    Successive attempts to connect fail with:

    If I read this correctly, this seems to imply that non-commercial use is now limited to a session duration of about a minute, and that no subsequent connections are allowed? This is not acceptable.

    When I try to reconnect after the above mentioned time:

    I can no longer help my remote friends.

    So, for the record, I have not been suspected of commercial use.

    This is pure non-commercial use where I try to help friends that happen to by (with all due respect) computer-illiterates. Due to Covid-19 I can only help them on-line.

    Surely Teamviewer will not prevent me from helping my friends and relatives in a corona-prof manner?

    Same here, I've been experiencing the issue since last Friday.

    I use the free version to connect to another PC of mine, now it seems just impossible, as the connection drops after 10-20 seconds

    The issue persists.

    I´ve submitted the request and filled out the form last Friday and so far no reply from your support team nor the issue was resolved.

    Okej, so I used the form to reset my teamviewer IDs. The "solution" for comercial used detected issue. Got a email from TS staff:

    We have successfully reset the TeamViewer ID(s) you submitted via the form provided earlier.

    We acknowledge that you are using TeamViewer for private use only on these devices.


    Tried yesterday again, TS still timing out after around 1 minute. Method doesnt work.

    Obviously a bug, that TS staff is ignoring because they dont care about free users. Really dissepointed.

    I also had the above problem. My account is for personal use. I manage my two computers for myself, which are far apart in space. In addition, I tend to help my 80+ year old aunt remotely if she asks me for help with something.
    I can't help him now either, but I can't reach my own remote machine either. Why?
    


  • The OP does not have this error, this is explicitly explained in his post. although it does look alike and seems like the same thing it does not bring up the same error.. just as the OP has explained.

    Hello,

    Recently Team Viewer has started to show the following message " You reached the maximum session duration to this Team viewer". I am unable to connect and my team viewer ID is blocked. I am using the free version. Can you help me out with this?


    Thank you

    Hello everyone,

    I'm a student needs to study remotely because of the Covid, I have to use Teamviewer to connect a computer because there is a software which cannot be installed in our own laps, Teamviewer is really convient and easy to use, besides this is the only remote control software that our university allows us to use in the computer. I have been using this since last Sept, howeverm last week, it said I counldn'd useit anymore because I'm out of the maximum connection, but I still need it for my study, so I wanna what should I do? Thanks in advance!

    Best,

    zshen

  • Matti_Kokenut_67: I was wrong. I got timed out and misleading message from computer, it didn't tell anything about Commercial... but I should know already, not to trust the computer messages. TRUST PEOPLE. Thank you moderator! You was right, my TeamViewer works now.

  • I am having the same issue as everyone else. Hope it gets resolved soon:

    Connection blocked after timeout.

    Your licence limits the maximum session duration to a partner, immediate reconnections are blocked. Please try later or upgrade your licence.

    @RebecaLoMir

    I only sent the form with the ID of the PC I use to connect to my 2nd PC.

    I figured that the problem was with my main PC because I could connect to my 2nd PC from my Android phone using the TeamViewer Android app without any problems.

    They got back to me within 24 hours telling me that the account was reset. It is working fine now.

    Hope this helps...

  • I've been using TeamViewer for years privately to connect to my computers remotely (either from laptop or from iPhone or iPad) and also to do remote sessions with my family and friends, and my licence shows Free.

    I'm at home and want to connect to my iMac via my iPhone, which works fine, but it stops after one minute and then I cannot reconnect for at least five more minutes.

    I haven't tried with my laptop yet, but with the iPhone it is definitely an issue.

  • And it also times out with my laptop.

    As I did not see any "commercial suspected" warning, I'm not sure about what to do here.

    Nah doesnt help, i have reset both my laptop and desktop ID. Still get timeout.

  • Hi,

    Since 3-4 days I haven't been able to connect to computers on my home network. After 2-3 seconds a message appears that the connection is blocked due to Timeout. When reconnected, the same message appears immediately and I can't do my job. I do not use your software for commercial purposes, only for personal and connection to my parents' computers.

    I have been using TeamViewer for years and I want to know if I have violated any of your rules and will I be able to continue using it.


    Thanks

    Angel

    They flag specific 'Teamviewer ID' as 'commercially used'. They may flagged one of your devices, remaining three might not be flagged.

    My account now always shows connection timeout and blocked. This account is completely for personal use and non-commercial use. I have submitted the form. How long will it take to update it? I hope you can help me unlock the account as soon as possible.

    I connected to my remote computer for the first time in two weeks and was almost immediately logged out and got a pop-up message that the free license has a limited time for a connect and that I have exceeded that time limit. I had only just started the session for the first time in two weeks so I don't see how that's possible. Is there a security hole or is there a bug here?

    Thank you.

  • It is still kicking me out after less than one minute and then getting this pop up messages.

    But I have already asked for a recet twice (one including only my ID and the 2nd time it was mine including the other remote computer's ID). So I really don't know how to fix this problem.


    Can someone please help me with this issue?

    Hey Fabio,

    the problem exists for a very long time now and there is not way to fix that. The support does not seems to care about that issue. I already wrote a couple of complains and tried every setting. Also, in "Advanced Settings" I have disbaled "Automatically disconnect inactive sessions" it does not matter. Also disabling/enabling UDP does not help.

    [removed per Community Guidelines] Sorry to say that but its true. I am also very disappointed that a stupid bug like this can remain that long.

    Kind regards

  • The problem is that for some time now, the program has been asking for a license because it has been found to be used for commercial purposes. I am a private user and need a program from time to time. Where can I report it?

  • This link https://www.teamviewer.com/en/reset-management/

    doesn't work. Sad but true, TV just left us to our own devices. OK, will try to use other tools. It is very unpleasant that this was done without any warning. I would consider buying a license if I had been warned in advance about the change in conditions, but now in no case will I do it
