I used TV for a solid 8 years as a normal home user. Helping any friends was also no problem. And the moment I began to travel often with my private laptop - I got it blocked for 'commercial use'. As well as my home private gaming desk-top PC. Which I used to connect to while on travel. The only 'commercial' thing I ever done with TV is connecting to my office laptop to check email - and ironically, it has a valid company-wide commercial license for TV. So there was literally zero 'violations' of the terms of private use - by your own documentation. Luckily, I found out that even if it is sometimes not equally good in some aspects, - **Third Party Product** is able to provide me with whatever needs I have as a private user of remote control software. And after getting a "we were unable to confirm that the submitted ID is being used privately" email in reply to reset request, the only thing I want and will say to you as a feedback is - goodbye. With that 'monopoly' over, I am really happy I don't need to worry about proving I am an honest user. I can finally use another SW with similar set of functions. Adios. Sayonara. Farewell. Enough.

A few years ago Teamviewer picked up a lot of users after **Third Party Product** decided to kick out free accounts. As Teamviewer crowed 'free forever for private use' they are now in a bind now so they have invented this nonsense to get rid of use free loaders helping out or families.

If they had a legitimate reason they would state what the trigger was, they haven't on here nor to any requests.

Filling out and signing a form again and again is just icing for them as they get to associate actual ID AND activity with 'real' people the moment that have an address, phone number and a signature.(remember paid accounts do that via the payment method) If they are not harvesting data from their free users (remember if it's free on the internet then YOU are the product) then they are gathering data for some 'other' entity who wants it.

1 hour a week to help my 80 year old mother deal with the interweb is ALL I ask, but that's not possible with Teamviewer.

The ONLY thing I can think of in their defence (which they could say if it was true) is that using a VPN looks suspicious to them as the true location of the user is either variable or not as stated on the form. If that's the case then I still won't use them as a VPN is a neccessary part of trying to stay safe online.

I do not use my TeamViewer for commercial use and filled out the declaration of private use form and my TeamViewer was reset to non-commercial use.

I just recieved an email saying that they could not confirm that I use this only for non-commercial use after I revieve my email about TeamViewer being reset and they want me to fill out another form. This would make the third time filling out the form. I did not use the program in between the emails.

How can this be corrected? I tried calling TeamView and could not talk to anyone since I was not purchasing the software.

I use Teaviewer since .....I do`nt know. My first call was with the founder...... And now Teamviewer calls me "commercial user" and I get all the "comfort" from an illegal user..., as an "Insider".... Thank you very, very much to the Teamviewer team !! May be a problem of succes. And / Or:large companies - or their employees - are not interested in individual customers, because they apparently do not understand that people like us are very important for their workplace........

The tool mensioned here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cHXLyhyWgw does work for me. I have not seen any sideeffects, but it does reset the teamviewer ID. No more waiting for months to support to reply. Last time my post was deleted, hopefully this one will stay.

and apparently you have this problem for a long time.

When you connect from your phone to your home computer, the session is canceled 59 seconds after the connection.

Always and constantly. I'm wait more than 10 minutes and try to do something in 59 seconds.

From my previous message the name of product was replaced by **...**. But if you ask the most popular search system about remote desktop it suggests you one of their solution

I'm waiting for an answer from teamviewer specialist to reset commercial use suspected for almost two months now. I filled out the form at:

https://www.teamviewer.com/en/support/commercial-use-suspected/

I checked my spam also. I'm not using my team viewer for commercial use but I don't know how resolve this.

Why do I see 'Commercial use suspected' / 'Commercial use detected'

I have the free teamviewer version that i mainly use for connecting to my pc downstairs that is connected to my 3d printer. I can then transfer files from my main pc upstairs and turn the printer on, .... I have been doing this for over 2 years and last week teamviewer started giving me notifications that it detected commercial use. I don't know how it detects this but maybe it's because of the 3Dprinting software that runs on my computer? I can now only use teamviewer for 5 mins at a time. Is there any way i can fix this?

pete666

Stop whining, read the previous post

I find it amazing that so little is done about this. Their free service that they brag about is surelynow causing more loss of business than the reverse, and surely they would be better off by sunsetting out in the open, rather than using this forced and dishonest attrition.

I use TV to manage my 91-year-old father's computer. I have logged into his computer about three or four times a year. I've connected to his computer twice through an ipad, once through my iphone (in both cases when I was traveling, which I do constantly) and two or three times through my home laptop. Yet my use was flagged as commercial. None of these computers are used for work--none of them. The networks on each end are home networks. I am not an IT professional and have no intention to become one. If the handful of times I've needed could in any universe be construed as commercial, then the word has no meaning.

I have submitted the form once a couple of weeks ago and again today, with no response.

But in the 15 minutes between my 30-second attempts to get my father's printer driver working again, I have time to add to the vast list of complaints just in this one thread.

I totally don't understand these 545 local sufferers.
Once upon a time, there is an absolutely legal method for solving a problem.
Moreover, it does not in any way affects the rights of the company Teamviewer and they cannot present any claims to you.
All you need to do is change the hard disk serial number (the one you see when execute dir command) and MAC address of the network card of your computer. How to do this is easily searched on the Internet. In case you find it difficult, there is even a special application that do it for you and it also easy to find.

Hello, after updating to Catalina I can control my mac from any device. If I connect to macos using other computer mouse and keyboard doesn’t work. If I try to connect trough IOS devices such as Ipad or iPhone I also receive the warning that there’s a suspect commercial use and I can have a connection just for few seconds (unable to use mouse and keyboard). Could someone help me please this is making me struggling.

Thanks

I also got the impression that they want to reduce the number of free users, but instead of introducing clear restrictions on the time of use, the number of computers, etc. partly accuse some users of violating the rules of use. ...

I have already supposedly had my account reset on November 14th. I tried to help my senior friend 2 days later and receivied the "Commercial usse detected" message and couldn't even connect with her to help.

They do not offer phone support for "FREE" users, so we are flying on our own... I am BEYOND frustrated at this point and am ready to ditch this now useless piece of junk software for something that will truly work for free so I can continue to help my friends and family who just happen to live far away from me.

I have been a major supporter of TeamViewer for years, and now it seems they do not want people using their software for free since a major update that was released juat over a month ago.

I just got the same problem... I am using the app 10+ years now... I had the issue once but resolved as I could write them but now there is no clear way to submit a form to them...

clarkj663

For some reason my account says its flagged as commercial use. When all I do is use it to connect to my home computer from my phone or while I am at work. Im not using it in a commercial environment or even using it to manage a personal server thats working with a paid service. What the heck Teamviewer? Ive used you for the last 10+ years with no issue. Why so judgy all of a sudden? I need someone from teamviewer to describe to me what they think commercially means.. Beacause I think there is a mixup here.

Hi,

I have five computers that are online and I use them myself. It's been one week since TeamViewer told me I'm using my account in a professional way and that I must buy a license.

What can I do?

Thank you in advance.

Emabys

every time I connect to the remote PC, after 5 minutes of use the connection is interrupted with the message "your session teamviewer has expired and will be closed".
I tried to check the timeout options too but they are disabled.

Rarb

I have the same problem. I get the prompt:

TeamViewer is being used commercially by you or your connection partner. Your session will terminate within minutes.

I'm using TeamViewer to connect from my personal Windows 10 Home Laptop, to my personal Windows 10 Home desktop - both in the same room, on the same home router.

I already requested an account investigation/reset once, which appeared to be successful (a few weeks ago) but I'm getting the same issue again.

This is 3rd ! Time that Teamviewer thinks that I use it commercial.... Never I do it. I use it only private.

wanou067

hello,

I can no longer use teamviewer because its says that i have used teamviewer for commercial use, but the problem is that is never used teamviewer for commercial use.

Can you help me ?

lbartshe

Wow, thanks for letting me know and that sucks. I guess I should just forget about, uninstall it and switch to **Third Party Product** or one of the other dozen ones out there.[removed per Community Guidelines] Also, I think it is very nice you're helping your father out so much and I wish you both well.
