    looks like I am getting flagged for commercial use. I use TeamViewer to login to my dell because I hate the keyboard and prefer to work off my MacBook. Can I get it reset?

    I've been using TV for years as a university employee to remote login from a Mac to a Linux PC on campus. I went through the process a few months ago of verifying the Free account, rather than Commercial, and that was straightforward. However, beginning today, TV is restricting my sessions to 1 minute, which is completely unworkable. What has changed?

    After using Team Viewer for the past 4 years for personal use only, as of today my connection is limited to < 5 mins. I use Team Viewer only for personal use , I am retired and have 0 commercial endeavors.

    I am using the free license (non commercial use only), and last week I traveled to my mother's to set up teamviewer on her tablet so I can handle any issues she has from my home (we're talking a few thousand miles distant). I tested it while there to make sure it worked, and it did. Now I am getting errors of an immediate session timeout, followed by the unable to connect message due to maximum session duration.


    **bleep**?

    I am using the free version but as of this morning I cannot connect to any of my home pc devices for more than about a minute initially and then it will not reconnect again.

    Message reads: 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 to this partner will be blocked until xx.xx.

    xx.xx being the time about a minute later but then blocks and says the same thing again even if I leave it 2 minutes.


    I only use this to connect to my home devices mac or pc. Rarely I may help out a family member but I do not use it on any work devices or use it commercially. I have no message to say commercial use detected. (I have received that message a couple of years ago but that was resolved by TV support checking the log files.)

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this as emails to [email protected] no longer work as you have to log tickets via their web portal but doesn't apply to free license users?

    I have been using Teamviewer to help my parents with their computer. recently it stopped letting me link for more then a minute or two before it says I have to wait 15 minutes to connect. I do not cheat. I use Teamviewer free version to help my parents only. Is there a setting I need to update?

    Why after making a connection with another person am I uninstalled after just a few minutes. Before, I used teamviewer for several months and nothing disconnected me with my partner who was always the same. 🤨

    Hi - I am using Teamviewer to help my mum with her laptop. Getting a lot of timeout / commercial usage suspicion notice recently. Been there before (9/24/2020), the solution was for TeamViewer to re-flag the usage as "personal". But now it seems we can't reach the support directly for this (tickets are only for paying users). If anyone has a way to get to the support...

    i too have been having this issue and today i don't think i get even a minute. if they are trying to kick the free personal users off just say so . that way we can look for another alternative or maybe have a 1 time charge that if it's not stupidly expensive I might consider paying a 1 time fee. otherwise i'll be looking for another company.

    Teamviewer keeps timing out and then locking me out for 5 mins. It is only letting me use the free version for less than 5 minuted at a time. Then it kicks me out and if I try to log back in it locks me for 5 minutes before I can log back in. It only recently started this two weeks. Also, half the time it tells me my email cannot be found or it fails to send the email for me to allow another computer to register to my account sign in. This is a huge problem.

    I have this same thing happening at the moment with "Connection Blocked after timeout" it's really annoying and I'm connecting to a **bleep** arcade machine in my living room the only other thing I connect to is also in my living room and from what I've read this is them mistaking my usage for "Commercial" usage.

    I get kicked out within a couple of minutes of connection to a remote computer. This just started recently.

    I used to be able to submit a support ticket to fix the issue but cannot anymore as I am a free user.

    Can a support rep monitoring this forum please reach out so that the issue can be resolved.

    Thank you

    I have been using teamviewer in the last one year to help my elementary school attending son remotely (sitting in the other room at home), while I sit at my work desk (at home) It worked fine until Mar 26. Then, teamviewer began terminating sessions within a minute and not permitting to reconnect. The problem was fixed then, but now (since Apr 15) its occuring again.


    I am getting disconnected a minute after connecting the first time. Then I get this message:

    "Connection blocked after timeout.

    Your license limits the maximum session duration to a partner, immediately reconnects are blocked. Please try later or upgrade your license.

    Connections to this partner will be blocked until hh:mm."

    It's not a "bad update".

    Every month that goes by, this company gets more and more hardcore about free usage.

    I suspect their hedge-fund owner is putting the screws on them to increase revenue, especially since their competitor Information Removed as per Community Guidelines is minting money right now. (without harassing free users, I might add)

    See the following page. They have been getting very aggressive lately.

    [EDIT: they won't let me post a link. just put "reset" at the end of teamviewer.com and that should work.

    I am connecting to my mom's android phone remotely and it works most times but every few days after just a few seconds of use it come up with

    "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 to this partner will be blocked until 16:09."

    This error happened at 16:09. If I re-connect after 16:09 (several minutes later( the time to be unblocked has been increased to now. I had only been using it for a few seconds. It had not been used for days. It is not commercial use. It is not happening for other devices including the android phone for my mother in law.

    I've started getting this message and I've no idea why. I've tried rebooting both PCs without success although I can connect via Android tablet.

    I have a free account and both PCs are in the same house on the same network the remote PC is aa headless unit and used to control a motorised telescope.

    Any help is appreciated.

    I am another free user with the same issue I even signed a TV statement that I am a personal user.

    What else can we do?

    Thank you

    I just ran into this timeout issue myself for the first time. I've done two things that might be significant since the last time I ran TeamViewer succesfully, and I'm wondering if one of them might be the cause:

    1) I used CCleaner's Registry Cleanup utility. It's possible that might have messed up or deleted some anti-piracy registry setting.

    2) I enabled Crucial Storage Executive's Momentum Cache feature. I've heard anecdotally from gamers that having that enabled creates false-positives on cheat detection software sometimes.

    Anyone else also done something similar before running into this problem?

    I have been successfully using TV for years in order to assist my 91-year old mother in her "use" of her laptop. What that really means is that we communicate by Skype and her medical condition does not allow her to use a mouse anymore so I connect with TV and answer my own Skype call as it comes in on her laptop. It has worked well for years but tonight the TV session times out after just a few minutes and then that annoying "sponsored session" popup blocks her view of my beautiful face on Skype! Is there any way to either 1) stop the frequent timeouts that just started happening tonight or 2) eliminate the "sponsored session" popup from appearing when TV stops? Just to be clear: I am not seeing an indication that TV suspects commercial usage. I just get a simple timeout stoppage. I use TV almost exclusively to connect with Mom and rarely for any other use. Could it have anything to do with the fact that I am connecting with her on a daily basis now because of Covid?

    I've been using the Free version (non-commercial) and tonight after I connected to my friends computer, it logged me out and says "Your TeamViewer session has timed out and will be closed". I click on OK and am presented with another dialog box which states, "Connection blocked after timeout. Your license limits the maximum session duration to a partner, immediate reconnects are block. Please try later or upgrade your license. Connections to this partner will be blocked until 20:41". The time is always one minute from the current time. I wait for the required time to try again. Same thing happens with the next login time a minute or two away. I even waited 10 minutes and at least got the regular login screen and entered the password but again was timed out. This is something new. Just two days ago, everything was working just fine. Anything change? I'm running a Mac mini and just had the OS updated to Big Sur 11.2.3. Any other Mac users having a problem? Any light shed on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
