    I am an amateur radio operator. I am not a business and do not use TeamViewer in or as commercial use. It is illegal for amateur radio operators to use the hobby for making money. I use TeamViewer as a method to help senior limited sighted radio operators maneuver amateur radio software from my personal home radio room. I or my account for some reason has been flagged as commercial use and this is incorrect. Please let me know what I need to do to prove this is true so I can get back to provide the free service several of my elder club members have come to rely on.

  • anyone else now getting these popping up? what is wrong with this teamviewer company?

  • Nope, I've tried that several times, and I've confirmed my account is accepted as a non commercial account. I only use it to support 2 relatives and a family friend, and all my ID have been provided. Not entirely sure why I popped back here really, other than I found the tab still sitting there when I was having a clear up and thought I'd see if things had improved. I was forced to give up some time ago as I just couldn't spare the time and needed a reliable product. End result, I use a competitor's product now and if / when I need a commercial offering (I work in IT) TeamViewer is no longer on the list for consideration or recommendation. The free version is no longer a lost leader, just lost!

    Hello Esther

    It appears you are the only person who may be an actual employee of Teamviewer?

    Would you please explain to all of us why we can't use the free version?

    Has something changed with regards free use?

  • TeamViewer disconnects too frequently while assisting our mobile user. 10 disconnections in 5 minutes.

    Internet service is ok in both ends already tested.

    Both the iPhone and the PC is in the latest version. 15.20.6

    HOW DO I CONTACT SUPPORT TEAM?

  • I have downloaded the free version for what I believe to be personal use, although it is work related and connected to a work computer. At work, the administrator does not see the use of remote access to be beneficial to the company, but I believe that having remote access gives me better range of performing my job. While at home, it would allow me to catch up on some tasks that might not have gotten done while on the clock. Since I would be doing this on personal time and only accessing one computer, would this still be considered private use? I would understand if it does not fall within private use, but surely hope that it might.

  • What are the limitations of the free version?

    Hello @GeorgyTomsky,

    there are many features that are only included in a paid plan. For example the

    However, when it comes to purely remote control, it is the exact same software.

    I have just upgraded my free Teamviewer in my second desktop inhouse, but now cannot connect. Every attempt comes back with timeout with message the free version does not allow multiple logins. Gives a stand down time, but wont allow even after stand down is expired?

  • Hi,

    Ive been using TV to help elderly family members with things especially over the pandemic as they are not good with computers. I was flagged as commercial use. I have filled in a non commercial use form 11 days ago and haven’t yet had a reply or any info back.


    does anyone know how long this takes for them to review


    thanks

  • Hi, I’ve been using tv for non commercial use. I have been blocked saying commercial use detected which isn’t the case.

    I have completed the form and submitted it 2 weeks ago and there has been no feedback or any correspondence back.


    does anyone know how long this takes for the team to review and sort this issue

    thanks

    Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to remotely assist someone with an Oppo phone ? I've done this in the past and it seemed to work. For the last week or so, I've been trying to assist my mother with her Oppo phone. Incredibly frustrating after a few hours of attempting. Is it something she might be doing wrong ?? I've also been in touch with your Twitter support team and also Feedback.

    It keeps thinking i am trying to connect to more than one person (ie., commercial account ), which I am definitely not. I cannot to connect to even 1 person !

  • Hello everyone,

    Six days ago I submitted a challenge to 'commercial use detected' on my TeamViewer account.

    I downloaded the paperwork, completed the explanation, signed and dated it, and then PDF'd it and uploaded / submitted it. I was told that I would get a response within 2 working days, but I am still waiting.

    Will I actually get a response and, if so, how long can I expect to wait?

    Thanks!

    Andrew.

    Any ideas anyone ?????

  • Hi everyone.... I urgently need help on this timing out issue. I have the free licence version (non-commecial use). I have been desperately trying to gain access to my brother's PC to sort out a bug issue. After 20 second it shuts me out stating that I am using it for commercial use!! Has anyone else had this problem?? Is there a way to fix this problem? I eagerly await your responses. Thank you. BAZ

    I am using it to log into my home computer from work and work computer from home.

    That is all I use it for.
