    I am having the exact same issue. All I am trying to do is assist my friend with some computer issues that he is having; however, I don't stay connected for more than thirty seconds, and I am kicked out. I do not use this software for financial gain, only to help my friends and family when they need computer assistance, be it macOS, Windows, Linux, etc. When I visit the TeamViewer site and on the application itself, it states that I am using the free account. I am using version 15.16.8 64 bit and the behavior is the same on macOS, Windows 10 build 20H2v2 and Linux. Please assist us, TeamViewer! Thank you.

    Hello, I am Sunhee.

    Recently I have been blocked when I was using Teamviewer.

    The program said I need a commercial license.

    But I am in the academic field and used TeamViewer with my friend for coding the program or R.

    Could you permit my Teamviewer access?

    Thanks

  • Hi,



    I have been using Teamviewer for a long time around 8 years. I have three PC's at my home that all have it installed. One of them is using a VPN and has no screen. I use this PC for my Onedrive storage and media. Anytime I connect to this PC for remote control after a minute TV kicks me out and won't let me reconnect for a certain period. Why is this? How do I fix it?



    regards


    Richie

    I have 4 PCs in my TeamViewer account and recently I am being kicked out after about one minute.

    Could you please help?

    I have a free license and I don't use the PC for commercial purposes.

    Thank you!

  • I'm in the same boat today trying to help my 81-year-old dad. Constantly disconnected and then timeout messages.

    I have the same issue.

    Please help!

  • Had this appear a few weeks ago. submitted a request to have it 'unblocked' (not for the first time either) and it worked for a couple of weeks. now its re-appeared. I gave up the convenience of using if for a homelab connection a while ago too.

    This really is becoming a pain in the proverbial.


    I'm probably being over cynical but it seems like crass move to force users into purchasing when they need it most.

    This is happening to me too. I connect to my home pc, then it closes and tells me I have to wait. When I try again it does the same thing.

    Well, I see we are all in this boat. I don't see TV either attempting a resolution or letting us know they are attempting a resolution. It is free, so I guess I am getting what I paid for, anyway.

    This is so frustrating and really not endearing me to TeamViewer.

    Before I continue. I only use Teamviewer to support my family that lives in a different country as me. I do not receive any compensation for helping them.

    Question:

    There are many posts on the internet mentioning that Teamviewer will detect connections over VPNs as commercial use. Currently I am using a well known VPN service that can be used to tunnel internet data through any country of choice (For privacy purposes). Teamviewer has not detected any connections over this VPN as commercial use. Neither has any of my friends ever reported that their Teamviewer has been marked for commercial use when connecting through one of these commonly used VPN services.

    In addition to the VPN software service I just mentioned, I want to install a second Free VPN program (Free for personal use up to 5 PCs) that will allow me to access my fathers PC via a fixed IP in the created VPN network so I can synchronize his personal files to me for backup purposes.

    How do I know if the second VPN program will be considered as commercial use, or if it will be treated as just another personal use VPN program like the first VPN package that I mentioned?

    Can someone please provide more detailed info as to what type of VPN is considered as commercial use and which type is considered as personal use?

    Hi,

    I'm not a company or anything, I'm just a dad who connects daily to my son's computer and teaches him! He is only 9 years old, and he's is struggling with his online schooling, so I have to connect daily to his computer and help him study because unfortunately, I don't live with him. I connected once to my daughter's computer at the same house, but it's always my son, every day. Now, TeamViewer closes after 1 minute and won't let me stay longer and also won't reconnect immediately. This is a disaster for me because my son needs me and all other remote software isn't that efficient. Please, can you lift this limitation? Thank You

    Hi Team,


    I support my uncle based in Sweden for he is an elderly person with not much computer awareness. Lately my support sessions are timing out within a minute and am unable to help his issues.

    Any idea how to get this sorted?

    I am also getting this timeout after 30 seconds and I also look after my 85 yr old mothers PC setting up Skype meeting with her brother in the UK. I am also becoming frustrated.
