    The answer posted says I am limited to 5 participants on a free license. I deleted to get below 5 and connected with only 3; however, after a few minutes, I get disconnected. This has occurred multiple times. Have to wait several minutes to login again and then the same thing happens all over again. I'm thinking I should uninstall and try a new install?

    I'm having the same problem. And earlier session worked connecting to my Dad's computer. But about an hour later I'm trying to remote connect to one of my own computers on the same network.

    I see many having issues today. I feel better about the situation now. I thought maybe my free license had somehow triggered an account suspension.

    same here...does anyone know if we can contact Team Viewer about this issue? I guess this issue just started for everyone.

    I am helping a 96 years old lady, Alice, with her computer.

    But recently TeamViewer (TV) stops after few minutes, telling me not to use the free version for commercial purposes and to upgrade to a paid version. It happens every time I try.

    I can use TV for remote access to my own (other) computer, and to my wife's computer, but not for Alice's computer.

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling TV on Alice's computer, but the problem sticks.

    Could it be that at a certain point I have updated og reinstalled Alice's TV in a wrong way, unintentionally telling the system that it is for commercial use? And such that it sticks to her TV account? Or something else?

    Please help me understand the problem and how to solve it.

    Thanxalot!

    I am a Senior Citizen who has been using the Free Viewer for Personal use! Since I got an new, updated system, why have you now decided that my personal use is no longer Free?

    I am a 70+ year old senior citizen on a limited fixed income and can not afford $50.00 a month!

    HI there, am using TeamViewer 15.16.8 on a Mac big sur 11.2.3 and have recently started getting some sort of inactivity timeout after 5 or so minutes. Have tried looking round for options but understand I cant tweak timeout settings in free mode? Have also contacted team viewer and had my account reset as I thought I may have been flagged incorrectly for commercial use - the accounts been reset but the problem persists.


    Any help would be great, thnx!

    I have no idea why i keep getting a Your licence limits the maximum session duration to a partner.

    First i got the message about commercial use, which I then did as instructed and they removed the limitation.

    But now i constantly get this pop up about maximum session duration being met.

    It keeps saying please try again after a certain time, even after that time it still does not work.

    I used to love TeamViewer. Now I am looking for alternative programs

    Me too. Very Frustrating

    I have been using TeamViewer for over 10 years, as a free user, to help few family and friends. The total number of people I help has never been more than 6-8 over the years.

    However, in the last few days, my connections to anybody gets timed out within 20-30 seconds. No message as to "Commercial Usage Suspected" comes up on the screen. Instead message stating that "this was a free session ..... We thank you playing fair."

    How can this frustrating situation be corrected? Is it something new from TeamViewer? A software bug?

    I am using TeamViewer only for personal use, supporting my partner when she has computer problems. TeamViewer thinks that I have been using it for commercial use. I have been trying to reset my account so that TeamViewer reinstates my personal use access. I have tried several times to enter all my details. When I press “create PDF” nothing happens so I can’t get to the second stage of sending the PDF in. I have tried on three separate browsers - Safari for Mac, Chrome for Mac, Safari for iPad - with no success. I have made sure that my browser is not blocking anything. How do I get this process to work so that I can resume using teamviewer?

    Many thanks

    Julian

    I was Granted years ago, a Free account, because I'm the tech and owner of a non profit online radio station. It was much appreciated. I still own the station, yet now I can't use Teamviewer?

    Hello,

    Last week the program started timing out with the 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 to this partner will be blocked until [time].

    This is version 15.16.8 on Windows 7

    Would appreciate any suggestions. I submitted a commercial use suspected reset request.

    Thank you,

    Todd

    Same here. I am out of town and tried remoting into my home computer to check an email and after 10 seconds I got the message I was blocked from the account and can't login for 10 minutes.
