Commercial use - Connection time out

I am having this same issue and now cant access all three of my pcs. Would love some support on this.

Here is some support. Use a new host to remote from. It would solve all your problems. Everyone nowadays should have a tablet regardless android or apple, you can use that to remote into your three PCs.

I connect to my 90-year old mother's computer when she's having trouble with her computer. Lately, as soon as I connect using the correct log in information, it disconnects the connection immediately and says that the connection has timed out and I didn't even have the time to see anything. It is the free version of TeamViewer. What should I do to get it to work?

I'm having a similar problem. I help several family members but TeamViewer is always a guessing game as to whether or not I can connect. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I tried helping my 89 yr old Uncle last night and got cut off after about a minute and had to revert to helping him by phone - wasn't an easy task.. Error message said I used up my time (about 1 minute). I had a similar problem in the past - but got totally disconnected on my account. I had to have Teamview staff review my account and grant the free access again. I may have to do that again if I can find out how to contact them again. They say its free for non-commercial use but it's really at their discretion.

Hi, I use TeamViewer to support my 93 yr old mother's computer. For some reason, I get a time-out when I try to log in to her computer.
What am I doing wrong?

I read the allowed non-commercial free license terms.
I do what to help my church's staff with no payment to me.
I read that helping even a nonprofit entity like a church "in kind" (no money to me) required a commercial license.
So, I "paid the piper". Arrrgggg.

I have the same problem - just an 85 year old mother instead! This started a couple of months ago - it times out within a minute or so and then won't let me on again. I've updated the version and it still does it.

Here we go again!!!
After about a year and a half, Teamviewer has once again started accusing me of using it for commercial purposes, which I am definitely not. I am using it to remotely control the computers, laptops and tablets in my home. My usage hasn’t changed since the last time you reset it to “free” except for a couple of the devices have been replaced.
Please, please reset it to “free” so that it doesn’t randomly close the connections.

I use TeamViewer ONLY to support my elderly (81 and 91 year old) parents.
I started to receive “Connection blocked after timeout” message when connecting to them.
Could you please explain how my use of TeamViewer violated conditions of Free licence.
Thanks

I have a free user license in order to help my parents with occasional PC items, etc. It used to work OK, but now it kicks me off after 10 sec? It then says that I can reconnect after 16 min or I can update to the latest version. I already have the latest one.
I don't use TeamViewer commercially, so what is the issue and how do I solve it?

Same thing happened to me. Can't help my 88 year old dad to get medications. BAD!

I'm done with TeamViewer. Whatever algorithm they chose to weed out the commercial users is broken. I'm not sending in a bunch of personal information when it's pretty clear that 2 PCs and a phone are not commercial. Once again a good product gets corrupted by corporate bureaucrats.

I submitted the PDF requesting that my FREE license be reinstated June 1st, as it was incorrectly flagged for commercial use. How long does it take Teamviewer to reset the FREE license?

Yep Teamviewer's broken for me again too ... been working fine for ages, but now disconnects after 60 seconds with the commercial use message. Trying to support elderly parents that I can't visit physically due to COVID lockdown ...
I've done the Teamviewer webform days ago ... no response yet

All of a sudden, my sessions are automatically closed after a minute. Why did this start happening?
Prior to this (before the most recently software update), whenever I switched apps, it would also force close my session but at least I was able to fix things before getting booted out.

A retired computer engineer friend has been working with me over Teamviewer for over a year. He is writing a program for my personal use. Neither me nor my programmer friend have any intention to sell this software. In the last few months we have had some problems making the connection from his computer to mine, but somehow we got around them. Yesterday however, he made a half dozen connections, only to be thrown off after only 30 to 60 seconds. Teamviewer then shows him a message, "It looks like you are using teamviewer for commercial use", and wants us to pay $50/month to continue. We do not understand why. How can we continue to use Teamviewer for personal use?

Since latest update, my sessions keep timing out (personal licience) I used teamviewer for home and friends connections, but now it is useless, can't keep a connection open for longer than 15-30 seconds

Why after years of personal use now I have been blocked because you are stating that I have a commercial usage.
Why???

I've been using TeamViewer since April and now I don't have remote access to the computers I'm using to do my thesis work. I really need remote access because I am finishing my work that I should have ready soon. Why after months of personal use have I been blocked because you claim that I have a commercial use? I hope this problem has a solution regards

For many years I have used the free personal plan to remote control my 83 year old mother's laptop and desktop computers. She is a very nervous user and so I quite often need to connect to show her how to do something or update a driver / application.
Over the last few months, I have been having trouble making a remote connection worthy of being able to actually do something.
Today I managed, eventually, to connect and then about 30 - 45 seconds later it disconnected saying the session had timed out. So I tried again and got message saying I had exceeded the number of reconnections and had to wait for a certain time, usually 2 or 3 minutes later, before I could try again. This I did and then it immediately failed giving same error but now with a new time 2 - 3 minutes later.
This last time I left it 5 mins, it reconnected and then 15 - 45 seconds later it disconnected giving same reason.
My mother is old and I am the only person who can help but being 200+ miles away cannot just pop around or spend hours on a phone trying to tell her what to do.
Please let me know if you are no longer able to offer a free license that actually works without errors or timeouts.
I prefer your solution but if you cannot guarantee issue free access I will be forced to look for something else.
Thanks
Mark

This same thing is happening to me. I access my computer at my brother's home. And it disconnects me within 1 minute and gives the same message. I believe Teamviewer has tagged me as a commercial account so I will upgrade to one of their pay plans. Is there any help that can be provided so Teamviewer can once again recognize me as a personal use account?
