    I had a paid license for a few years when I was running a tech support business. Now I am an Enterprise software architect and only use TeamViewer to remote into my home computer from my phone and occasionally to help my father. I haven't logged into my father's computer in months. I log into my home computer from my phone fairly regularly. Today I did so and got the commercial use suspected limitation placed on my account. I am trying to do the reset but it requires a signature and the signature pad is broken. Also, can't get support without a paid license, so I guess I'm out of luck.

    I am NOT using commercially or running in a commercial environment as this blasted software periodically tells me I'm suspected of doing, and therefore blocks connection!! There is no more support from Teamviewer for them to check my logs and verify non commercial as they used to do and would then reset my acct. What am I supposed to do now? I literally cannot use it at all and DESPERATELY NEED TO REACH MY HOME PC!!!

    Hi

    I work at an univerity and I have some PCs at home (to daughter) and my girlfriend. Sometimes I need to connect to these computers but Team Viewer does not allow me to do so arguing that I am making commercial use of the software...

    Hi,


    I have used teamviewer for my personal activities to connect to my personal laptop. However, now I cannot use it and I got a license error. It seems that teamviewer recognize a commercial activities, while it is not correct.


    How can I solve the issue?

    Thanks,

    Hi


    i use Teamviewer to support my Family and also to play Games when i am on road.

    I use my 2 phones and my Tablet or Laptop and my Personal PC for it.

    In Total i help also 3 Family Members when they have PC Problems

    I used a few times my office Pc to help or to play.

    Now i got a message that a commercial use is suspected.

    How i can resolve that?

    Is there a Option to add new Pc ID for personal use to prevent a suspicion of commercial use?

    thanks

    How long I am supposed to wait for my account to be either derestricted or informed that TeamViewer believes I am lying about commercial use?

    I submitted my request on 2nd June yet still waiting for some confirmation. When I try to submit another request I can still see the other one as being successfully submitted which does not allow me to continue with another one, therefore, there is no other way of contacting TeamViewer.

    I was about to explain just how bad this has affected me and my family as I need to urgently access my 80 year old mother's phone because she is having issues with it while trying to look after my father who is very unwell at the moment with cancer, but I am now just too *bleep*' tired to be angry. I finally managed to swap her dying 2013 phone for a budget Samsung one and I said to her that she needn't worry or stress because I can log into the phone with TeamViewer QuickSupport at any time to help her.

    TeamViewer needs to display a bit fat warning about how they can mistakenly decide the user is using their system for commercial purposes and shut them down before the unsuspecting citizen decides to spend time and effort to setting up a TeamViewer network on their loved ones' devices only to have it taken away from them in a such a cavalier and cold fashion.

    I know it's free but I would prefer to pay if it means I don't have to worry about it being restricted every time I go to use it. The commercial one is too expensive and I am not using TeamViewer for commercial purposes anyway.

    Please have a heart and look into my issue urgently. Thank you.

    Coming up to 2 weeks since I submitted my requests, which is clearly more than 7 business days. Guess they must be swamped with this recent onslaught of reset requests.


    Anyone who recently submitted got back a response to resolve?

    Good afternoon

When I connect to the computer with the ID **DO NOT POST TEAMVIEWER IDS**, and only on this one, I can't establish a remote connection, because the connection is cut off right away, giving me an error message, which is attached.
Thank you for helping me with this problem.
My use is for non-commercial use.

Thank you very much.
I await reply.

    I'm getting very tired of this. I cannot use my second PC because it keeps getting flagged as commercial use! I have used this for a long time and yet teamviewer keeps shafting me and gimping their software on a PC i've used it on for forever! I can't even submit a second request because your stupid automated system says I already submitted one.

    You are really rude. I was trying to connect to my friend with whom I did not make any contact for a couple of years. Your software stopped may connection telling me that my time of connection with my friend is above limits (expired) with the suggestion that this connection seems like a commercial one. Shame on you.

    I will change now to another software for individual connections and I will never recommend Team Viewer to any of my relatives and friends. 😓

    Hello every one,

    I am a free user of teamviewer and iI use it only to help my parents in law (>80year old). This evening trying to connect from my home to my father in law PC, I received the message "Professional use detected !". What could I do ?

    Many thanks in advance for any response.

    HI, I have been problems lately with my free teamviewer license of keep getting blocked due to "suspected professional activity". I had submitted reset form earlier for both end of my computers to clarify I only use the remote connection for private use. However, now I am unable to send the reset form, as when I login to Reset Management, there is no place for me to fill in or submit the form. WHen I login to Reset Management tool, it shows me option to download my previous filled request form (which is more than a year old). I have cleared cache, changed browsers, logged out, logged in but I am unable to find a way to submit the reset form again. Appreciate if someone can chime in what can I do here.

    Same problem here, posted on this forum and another one and I don't believe Teamviewer has a solution to this based on response or lack thereof. I think we're screwed. There are other Teamviewer options that are free and I recommend trying those out. I've tried a few out and encourage anyone not happy with Teamviewer to do their research. There are other options that are viable and "good enough" depending on what you require. YMMV but do your research and you can wean yourself from this. Teamviewer may be good for subscribers but I'm thinking it **bleep** for the free personal users if you run into problems since there is virtually ZERO support. That's the way it works. You get what you pay for. You pay **bleep**, you get **bleep** for support. Done here.

    TeamViewer is doing it again saying that I'm using the software for commercial use. I am not. What can I do to have TeamViewer stop flaging me as such. I hardly even use TeamViewer. The only time is when I have to do maintenance for my mom and home computers. It was 4 years ago, July 2018, when they had done this first. And now they are doing it again. What can I do to have TeamViewer stop this?

    I have NEVER used TeamViewer for commercial purposes, but recently the application refuses to work for me saying something about it detected some kind of commercial use.

    I am using the application to help a family of Ukrainian refugees that are living in my house in Austria/Europe (I live in USA). And I have never, nor will I ever, use the application for any kind of commercial activity.

    Please let me know how to get my free license back.

    Thank you!

    This is my problem I am facing now. The Teamviewer is not able to connect the PC at most times, and it terminates the session immediately right after the connection is established, even I did not intend to end it.

    For comparison, I tried to connect to same PC using **Third Party Product** and I worked properly.

    I tried to connect the same PC from different PC, but same issue occurred.

    I tried to uninstall/reinstall the program or reboot both remote and host computers but did not solved.

    Any solutions I can try out?

    Hello,

    Today, I got a popup message from TeamViewer saying that they are limiting my usage because of the usage pattern, which suggests that I am using it to support others professionally.

    The thing is that I only use it to help my mother with her tablet, which I do almost every day for about 10 to 30 minutes, so it is the same android device, and usually I just have to reenter a password or update some apps.

    How can I fix this issue?

    Thanks

    I never used team viewer as commercial.

    I've used it only in my house (to control my MacBook Pro when when on my desktop) and rarely to help my mother in law and my father.

    It is because I have several computers added ?

    Thank you

    I've previously sent in a reset ID request. I'm trying to send another with new ID but it won't let

    I'm in the same boat, the TeamViewer commercial use algorithm is creating false positives. You are meant to fill out a form detailing your use is indeed private and that should remove the commercial use block. However I have filled out the form over a week ago and not had even an acknowledgement email. Going to try again now, but not holding my breath.

    False positives. Sales must be falling behind again. Was considering implementing at our company for remote access but now there's no chance. Talk about a backfire.

    Good morning, a few days ago teamviewer hasn't worked for me for private use, a message of possible commercial use appears; our use is only private, non-commercial; I don't know if the problem is that I access my home computer using a 4G mobile data network.

    The same thing happened to me a while ago and it was solved; We haven't made any changes to our teams, nor to the format.

    Do you think they could help me?

    Thank you very much for your kindness

    Best regards.

    Hello, I have a computer that says it was flagged for commercial use. I submitted a request on 06/02/2022 but it's still flagged. How do I resubmit the request with the current date?
